Spring Cardinals in the Wood

This piece is titled Spring Cardinals in the Wood and was recently brought in to Lizzards Gallery in downtown Duluth, MN. I've recently enjoyed listening to all the birds around my house, the finches and robins being the most prominent, but I have yet to see the cardinals or hear their song. I'm starting to think the finches have something to do with this, as I have several dozen small brown finches emptying my thistle feeders and making a lot of noise and a big mess, but they are fun to watch with their chatter and jostling for the best perch at the feeder. The cardinals in today's painting are a bit more relaxed, no doubt talking about how the Minnesota Twins aren't doing so well this year haha. TGIF!

Moonlit Spring Birches

"Moonlit Spring Birches"

Moonlit Spring Birches is the title of this 6"w x 18"h piece recently brought in to Lizzards Gallery in Duluth, MN. Because who doesn't love a moonlit landscape in the early spring in northern Minnesota. I sure do. Busy week finishing off several large commissioned pieces. Off to the easel ... have a great Thursday! All my best, Aaron

Blue Dragonfly

Today's post, titled Blue Dragonfly, is the last of a three part series on 10x10" canvases recently delivered to Siiviis Gallery. I had a great time painting these, and actually they are the my first attempt at painting insects. Perhaps I'll continue with other insects as I find them so interesting with their shapes and colors.... I just don't know if people will collect them, but sometimes art isn't about selling and all that but about the simple act of creating. I need to return to that simple act from time to time when I'm busy with a large commission or preparing for an art show ... to return to that child like joy from my youth I had when drawing and painting ... and dreaming of one day being a full time artist. Sorry, I'm waxing poetic yet again, I'm off to the easel chasing that childhood dream ...

Red Dragonfly

Red Dragonfly

Red Dragonfly is the title of this new 10"w x 10"h piece which is one of a series of three dragonfly paintings. I've emphasized color and design with these pieces ... using a strong central image and adding interest with the unique shapes found in dragonfly wings. What a joy these were to paint, I'll post the last in the series tomorrow, and these paintings were recently brought in to Siiviis Gallery here in Duluth.

Green Dragonfly

"Green Dragonfly"  10x10", Siiviis Gallery, Duluth MN

This piece is part of a series of three dragonfly paintings recently brought in to Siiviis Gallery in Duluth, MN. It's about that time of year, when the dragonflies start hatching and showing off their vibrant colors and intricate wing patterns. And you know the best part about dragonflies? They eat mosquitos and horseflies! I'll be posting the other two in this series this week. All my best, Aaron
