Blue Moon Dragonfly, Pond, Garden, Waterlilies Original Painting
































BLUE MOON DRAGONFLY
Acrylic
6 x 4"
Copyright 2016 Sandra Estes

I love watching the dragonflies swooping and dancing over my backyard pond.  This is the inspiration for my dragonfly paintings.  In this painting, I imagine a graceful dragonfly with lovely, gossamer wings, flying over a  garden pond with waterlilies, at night by the light of a full blue moon...like a dream.

This painting will be listed on eBay later this evening.

Original ACEO Painting Dragonfly Dream Night Pond Moon


"Dragonfly Dreaming"
ACEO
Acrylic
10% of final sale to support Audubon International.
SOLD to a collector in California, USA

Dragonflies are one of my favorite subjects to paint. In this painting the beautiful and graceful dragonfly flies above a gleaming pond by the light of a pale yellow moon and starry night sky. I wonder if dragonflies really fly at night.

I'm thinking of starting a series of dreamscape paintings in small or medium format.

"Moon Dragonfly" Tranquil Pond Waterlilies Original Painting


"Moon Dragonfly"
Acrylics 9 x 12 canvas
Commission
Sold.

This was a commissioned painting done last year, of a similar ACEO that I painted. A tranquil evening water scene with a dragonfly hovering between the moon and the reflection of the full moon over the peaceful water of the pond. The light of the moon catches and highlights the translucent, iridescent wings of the dragonfly, as well as the tall grasses and waterlilies.

I decided to post this even though it isn't a new painting, due to the recent interest and comments on this painting on Facebook.

"Misty Morning Dragonfly" acrylic painting

Photobucket
"Misty Morning Dragonfly"
4" x 6" acrylic painting on 140# watercolor paper.

This is my personal favorite my 3 recent dragonfly paintings. A large dragonfly with delicate gossamer wings against the background of a misty morning pond. The bright sun breaks through the mist and reflects on the water. A lovely bough of greenery with delicate white and purple flowers across the bottom and left side of the painting frames the subject. You can almost feel the coolness of the morning yet know the sun promises a warm day ahead.

This painting is available for sale.
