Lately I've been busy preparing for the busy Christmas season ... stocking galleries and shipping out orders from my online store. The image featured here is titled <i>November 'Dees</i> and this painting has four chickadees perched on a birch on a snowy winter day. People sometimes give me a hard time about painting songbirds ... but when you're inspired by the landscape, I can't help but paint these friendly little feathered peeps. We had gusty winds and half a foot of snow today in northern Minnesota, and the chickadees were buzzing around, singing and eating seeds from the feeder. Perhaps they were just having fun ... or hoping I would paint them ... and they're in luck because I just did.<br />

Today's post is a two for one special. These two pieces were painted for a collector as a gift to family members. These two paintings depict a sunrise and a sunset over lake Superior with the cabin deck in the foreground. While the reference photos had the cabin and deck silhouetted against the bright sky, I added in some color and detail so that the pieces would be brighter, happier, and also work well if displayed together.<br />

Today's piece is titled<i> Spring In Hilltopper Country, </i>and is a new 24x12" acrylic on canvas. This piece is part of the Marshall School annual fundraiser event, and will soon be finding a new home. I've been enjoying the spring weather we've been having lately, which has inspired me to dust off the green paints and brighten up the canvases with new landscapes which will be featured here soon. Have a great weekend. -A.Kloss<br />

Today's piece is titled<i> Cardinals in the Trees</i>, and is a new acrylic on 12x12" canvas. This painting features three female cardinals set amongst red maples somewhere in northern Minnesota. Working in this brown and red color palette is a nice lesson in camouflage. These birds may be beautiful but they are difficult to see with their muted feathers. Good for them, the vibrant male cardinals will have to work harder to find them. This piece was featured recently on my <a href="http://www.dailypaintworks.com/artists/aaron-kloss-3261/artwork" target="_blank">dailypaintworks</a> site, and may be purchased there if still available. Have a great week!<br />

Featured today is a fun new 12x12" acrylic on canvas titled <i>A Cardinal Conversation. </i>Five female and male cardinals are perched amongst red maples against a bright blue sky. I'm sure they're discussing the Minnesota Wild's current winning record and overtime victory vs. Tampa Bay the other night. :) <i>This piece is featured on my daily paintworks site and can be purchased online via PayPal if available:</i><br />

Today's piece is titled<i> One For The Road,</i> and measures 6"x6", acrylic on canvas. This painting features a red squirrel perched atop a golden birch branch. The squirrel is holding an acorn and thinking to himself ' I think I'll take just one more for the road'...but we all know he's going to bury it someplace safe, never to be found again. It was fun to paint a new subject, and the red squirrel may be a feisty little fella, but the copper brown coloring of their fur is indeed pleasant. This painting was recently delivered to <a href="http://sivertson.com/" target="_blank">Siiviis Gallery</a> in Duluth MN.

Today's piece is a winter landscape titled <i>Snowshoe Trek</i>. This piece is 12x12", acrylic on canvas, and was recently delivered to<a href="http://www.sivertson.com/" target="_blank"> Sivertson Gallery</a> in Grand Marais, MN. I love the rich blues of the winter landscape, the late afternoon and evening shadows on the snow are captivating, and the inspiration for this piece and several others like it. The moon in this painting is a bright complementary gold and lights up the sky. We could use some more snow here in Duluth, MN soon, we've had warmer temps and the landscape has patches of grass visible, with lots of ice from melting and freezing ... nothing a few inches of fresh powder wouldn't fix ... and then it would be time to lace up the snowshoes.<br />

Today's painting is a fun picture of life in the trees. A bright red cardinal is perched on a golden birch, minding his own business, when a red squirrel appears out of nowhere and wants to use the same branch. The cardinal says 'I was here first!' as the squirrel retreats, knowing better than to mess with the bright beaky winged fellow. I enjoy the playfulness of this piece, and the bright color, something I miss this time of year as it's raining in January and the skies and landscape are grey. Spring will be here soon enough and provide ample inspiration to paint once again.<i> This painting is part of a new group of small works at <a href="https://www.sivertson.com/" target="_blank">Siiviis Gallery </a>in Duluth, MN.</i>Aaron Kloss Artworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560783998507732692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712775271738124878.post-12309694469899436102017-01-18T18:25:00.001-06:002017-01-18T18:25:44.146-06:00Frozen Birch Forest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today's painting is titled <i>Frozen Birch Forest,</i> 24x36, and is part of a new group of winter landscapes at Sivertson Gallery in Grand Marais, MN. The birch forest was frozen when I painted this night landscape that features the moon in the center, sparkling and shimmering across the sky and snowy foreground. We are currently enjoying a January thaw, but no doubt we'll have a couple more arctic blasts before the end of winter. But for now, I'm enjoying the blue shadows of winter, while eagerly yearning for Spring.Aaron Kloss Artworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560783998507732692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712775271738124878.post-69140188118244157972017-01-09T09:48:00.001-06:002017-01-09T09:48:21.503-06:00Autumn at the Depot<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It's a new year and along with changing the calendar I have some new paintings ready to go, and endless ideas to explore this coming year. I thought I'd start this year off with a special piece, this painting is titled Autumn at the Depot, and is 36x24, acrylic on canvas. This piece is my contribution to the Duluth Art Institute's annual membership exhibition. The show is always a fun assortment of emerging artists and grumpy old professional artists like myself .. and everyone inbetween. If you're in the Duluth area anytime between Jan. 26 and Feb. 24 2017, please stop by the Depot to view this piece and many more interesting pieces from the other members. I had fun painting this one, reminiscing on my many trips to the Depot with my children when they were younger to see the trains and play at the children's museum. I used my imagination on this one as well, painting the depot in Autumn while using a winter reference photo I had taken, and also using a night setting which allowed the golds of the foliage and the light cream color of the building to pop against the night sky. The roof is a greenish grayish color, and I also didn't want to try to pair that color against a light blue or gray sky. Otherwise, I slaved away on this piece as the roofline and window details kept me making constant adjustments, but I didn't mind as I wanted this to be a memorable piece, which it is. Here's to a wonderful 2017 filled with life, laughter, color, and joy ... and many more memorable trips to the Depot.Aaron Kloss Artworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560783998507732692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712775271738124878.post-40332994219141165582016-12-13T08:54:00.000-06:002016-12-13T08:54:41.216-06:00A Lake Superior Sky<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today's painting is titled A Lake Superior Sky and measures 20x16, acrylic on canvas. Lake Superior is 'the view that never gets old' if you ask me. I enjoy venturing down to the big lake with the family to explore beaches and experience the waves crashing against the shore. People drive for hours to visit the lake, we walk a few blocks. It's something I don't take for granted, and something that becomes the subject of many a painting.

<i>All the Colors of Autumn</i> is the title of this colorful new 36x24 acrylic on canvas recently brought in to <a href="http://lizzards.com/" target="_blank">Lizzards Gallery</a> in Duluth. I painted the lake in the foreground a deep blue to make the colorful tree reflections pop off the canvas. This continues my series of reflections which focus on memories and how can be fuzzy and bit distorted, but the memories are also a reflection of who we are.

On the last day of an unseasonably warm November, I thought it fitting to share a fun new piece titled Sunset Strip, recently brought in to <a href="http://sivertson.com/" target="_blank">Siiviis Gallery </a>in Duluth, MN. This painting is 12x36, acrylic on canvas, and features white pine flanking a rocky river, with distant pine ridges in the background. But what really sets this painting apart is the dazzling gold sky, casting gold shadows on the foreground river banks and brightening the overall feel of the piece. I don't need to go to California to see the Sunset Strip, I just need to go out on the Lake Superior Trail on any given summer evening. So long summer, hello winter.Aaron Kloss Artworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560783998507732692noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712775271738124878.post-45220775571867366722016-11-18T22:07:00.000-06:002016-11-18T22:07:07.608-06:00Welcome To Winter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With today's frosty temperatures, the first snowfall of the season, and the Christmas City of the North Parade all converging, I thought it fitting to share a new original titled <i>Welcome to Winter.</i> This piece measures 36x24" and features a winter birch forest with distant icy ridges, and a winter moon shining brightly in the sky. The long shadows in the foreground are a hint at the short days that feature below freezing temps and endless blue and white vistas. I've always struggled with the cold myself, but enjoy the season nonetheless. This piece was recently delivered to Lizzards Gallery in the wonderful winterland of Duluth MN.

Today's painting is titled Winter Frost Chickadees, and is part of my ongoing series of winter chickadees. This series features a pale blue sky, lots of white, and gray tones, basically what winter looks like. These hardy chickadees don't mind the cold, they reside in Minnesota year round, unlike their migratory songbird friends who skip town when the cold rolls in. Sometimes I'm tempted to head south, but then I'd miss the winter frost chickadees. <i>This piece was recently brought in to<a href="https://www.sivertson.com/contact-sivertson.php" target="_blank"> Siiviis Gallery</a> in Duluth, MN.</i>Aaron Kloss Artworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560783998507732692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712775271738124878.post-43547873526073582322016-11-03T08:30:00.001-05:002016-11-03T08:30:21.109-05:00Sunset Sky Triptych<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a first of many chickadee paintings titled<i> Three Frost Dees,</i> acrylic on 8x10" canvas. The chickadee is a favorite of mine, residing in Minnesota year round, their familiar call and markings distinguishing them from the flock of songbirds that migrate annually. Long live the chickadee.

Today's painting is titled Autumn Hike, 36x24, and is a take on a favorite theme of mine, which is birch trees with colorful ridges behind them. What I also love is the space between the subject/foreground captures the eye ... essentially becoming the part of the piece that grabs the eye. We had a wonderful autumn season this year, and it looks like it's going to be another great week to spend time outdoors with temps approaching 60 by the end of the week ... which is a heat wave in this northern part of the world. <i>This painting was recently delivered to <a href="https://www.sivertson.com/contact-sivertson.php" target="_blank">Siiviis Gallery</a> in Duluth, MN.</i>Aaron Kloss Artworkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09560783998507732692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712775271738124878.post-89088547609008017612016-10-28T22:06:00.001-05:002016-10-28T22:06:39.326-05:00Just Another Night in Northern Minnesota<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had a little fun with the title of this new 36x24" piece, with the title<i> Just Another Night in Northern Minnesota.</i> I implied that every night is like the one depicted in this painting, with a warm full moon reflecting off a lake with thousands of rich blue speckles dancing across the sky. Is that accurate? Well, I guess you just need to visit or move here to find out. :) From a warm summer night to a sub zero winter night, you find beauty in northern Minnesota .. that much is true.
