Some People are Like Dragonflies

Water media - Fluid Acrylic, 10 X 14 (IM), 18 X 22 Inches (FR)

Dragonflies are amazing creatures. They are expert fliers that maneuver like hummingbirds, have been studied by the airforce, and are fierce predators that have been around for thousands of years. This painting was donated for the Louisiana Public Broadcasting, Art Rocks, Louisiana Art and Travel Auction which airs live on LBP on October 23, 2014.

Online bidding begins September 19, 2014.

Recurring Cycle - Dragonfly

Section from a new painting.

I like the transparency of the wing veiling the face of the dragonfly and the almost fragile appearance of the legs. I tried to repeat the gracefulness of the wings and the fragile quality of the legs in the grasses. The background alludes to air, water, and time-the recurring cycle that is nature.
