Dragonfly in Amber Leaves

Dreaming Nature: Dragonfly in amber leaves.
First in a series for Leslie Saeta's
Thirty paintings in thirty days challenge.

The theme I have chosen "Dreaming Nature" was inspired
by a saying of Paul Gaugin
"Seek art in nature by dreaming in the presence of it."
The challenge  to use one theme for thirty painting
is daunting to say the least.
I hope it will evolve as the month goes by,
so that the paintings don't get stale.
We shall see!

Tranquil Morning

A transparent winged dragonfly sits on a 

windswept vine of delicate blossoms, 

against a golden-pink sunrise.

Painted for Dana Marie's Rendition Me This 

Tranquil Journey challenge.

I am enjoying her challenges because they push me

 in a different direction in my painting,

one that I find very interesting.

I also entered this painting in DPW's "Insect" challenge.

I was surprised and happy to see the theme fit this work,

as I haven't had much time to paint since I am leaving soon

on an extended road trip (see post below).
