Hummingbird Miniature Original by Karen Neely - #M2254

Hummingbird Miniature Original by Karen Neely – M2254

Original Acrylic | 2" × 2" | Framed 3" × 3" with Burl Hanger

This delicate miniature by Karen Neely captures a hummingbird in mid-hover, its wings softly extended and body suspended in motion against a tranquil sky. Subtle brushwork brings out the iridescent tones—hints of green along the body, a soft blush at the throat, and cool blues in the head—creating a luminous, lifelike presence despite the intimate scale.

Set within a richly figured burl wood frame, the warm, organic grain beautifully contrasts the cool, airy background of the painting. As shown in your images, this piece includes a ribbon hanger, thoughtfully designed by the artist to transform the artwork into a versatile display object.

About the Artist – Karen Neely

Karen Neely is a Northern California artist born in Monterey.

She has been painting since her youth, studying privately under her mother, a professional artist, as well as other accomplished artists through her family’s involvement in galleries and art shows. She continued her formal education at Chico State, San Francisco State, and the Art Academy of San Francisco.

Karen received her first award at age 16—the Bank of America–sponsored Junior Achievement Award—which helped support her early development as an artist.

Her work is now featured in galleries throughout California. Drawing inspiration from her time in Hawaii, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Southern California, and Napa Valley, Karen often paints en plein air—capturing landscapes, wildlife, and nature-inspired subjects.

She is especially known for her miniature acrylic originals, each thoughtfully finished and framed. Many of her smallest works are intentionally designed as wine bottle hangers, making them highly collectible and perfect for gifting.
