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.

About this painting:
One morning, it was so misty and beautiful like a dream or a scene from an English fairytale. The air smelled sweet and fresh, the birds were singing, and I felt like I was in the woods of Camelot. I almost expected a gentle white horse or unicorn to come strolling out from the woods! I went out back of my house and took photos where the clearing meets the woods at the boundary fence. This painting is my first attempt at capturing that misty morning.

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.

Another painting done on an extra fine handmade canvas panel. Unfortunately the scanner did not pick up the correct blue and more graduated shades of the sky, and subtle color variations in the river. I think the actual painting is much nicer than the image here, with more detail and depth than I was able to capture with the scanner. :)
