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.

"Sailboats At Twilight" Original Pastel Painting

8" x 10"Original Pastel painting on pastel paper

In this calming pleasant water scene, three sailboats glide gracefully on the water. The reflections of the sunlit sails casts a warm yellow glow in the water as the sun is low in the sky. The scene is framed by overhanging branches, the warm path that leads to the shore edged in low growing bushes.

"Sunlit Pond" pastel painting water scene

As I continue to become familiar with my new pastels, I am enjoying the effects that I'm able to create with them. This began as a small "practice" sketch and became a miniature painting. I love the light from the sky, reflecting on the water. I've decided to try doing a larger version of this one.



Original Pastel Painting
2.5" x 3.5" ACEO

In this calm water scene, the light reflects on the water in this miniature pastel painting of a cool blue pond with a small tree island coming into the scene from either side of the painting. The trees are reflected in the water. In the foreground, the weight of the two rocks rising up through the water near the shore anchor the scene and give sense of stability and the feeling that this scene has been there for centuries.

"Spring Moon Dragonfly" acrylic painting

Original painting 4" x 6" acrylic
A large dragonfly by a pond on a cool spring evening with a pale yellow moon reflecting on the water and pussy willows and grasses in the foreground.

"Misty Morning Dragonfly" acrylic painting

"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.
