“Dragons Soar”, by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

Dragons Soar

This is the latest little painting I completed.  It's the time of the year I've been thinking about family, getting out in the warm sunshine, planting flowers, breathing in the fresh air.  I named it "Dragons Soar" because I have a little sign in my garden that says "In my garden, hearts soar and dragons fly." 

In thinking about the dragonfly and creating this piece, I found this interesting symbolism.  The dragonfly normally lives most of its life as a nymph or an immature. It flies only for a fraction of its life and usually not more than a few months. This adult dragonfly does it all in these few months and leaves nothing to be desired. This style of life symbolizes and exemplifies the virtue of living IN the moment and living life to the fullest. By living in the moment you are aware of who you are, where you are, what you are doing, what you want, what you don’t and are able to make informed choices on a moment-to-moment basis.

This ability lets you live your life without regrets like the great dragonfly.  This week, this day, are you living in the moment?

Here are some pictures of how this painting started out and went through the process.

This painting literally sat in my art studio for over a year, untouched.  I did NOT like how it was turning out and couldn't figure out what to do with it.  The sides and the bottom of it were painted bright red.  Really...who does that...FIRE ENGINE red!  I toned it down with some white.  The top background underneath the dragonfly is some really beautiful turquoise paper that I found and altered.

I continued doing more alterations to the paper behind the dragonfly.  I added some iridescent orange...man those iridescent paints are gorgeous!  Started adding some blue over the white paint at the bottom and sides to try to tie it all together.

Here I began to add more turquoise to the painting, again to try to tie it together, and because I LOVE turquoise.

And...TaDa...I think it is done!

This little painting is 8 X 8 X 1.5 found a home here in Colorado.  It was finished with a resin coating, which eliminates the need for framing.  If you have comments or comments, please contact me at:

Day #21 of the 30/30 Paint Challenge

Today's post is a canvas that I painted several months ago, and it is finally dry.  This dragonfly is abstract and colorful.  I love painting with the palette knife---pushing the paint around, scraping and building the layers up.  I am getting ready to do a palette knife demo this week, so that will be fun.  I have been working on projects in the studio, but don't have a new one to post today.  Thanks for looking....contact Kay for comments or questions.  Thanks, Kay

8" x 10" Watercolor on Paper | Purchase Prints

During the month of June, I was encouraging my readers to send ideas for paintings. This painting was created as a study for a larger commission. One of my friends saw it and was drawn to it. Her sister just found out her cancer was in remission and this dragonfly will now be a symbol of her second chance. The reader said the following about this painting.

"It will be our "logo" for God making her new again!!! "

It is such an honor to be apart of such a joyous time. I wish her continued blessings and health.Humbled and grateful,
Kristye

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This contemporary palette knife painting was inspired by a red dragonfly photo taken by Mark Malone last summer.  I believe he had the dragonflies in his garden.  

I liked the clean, crisp colors.....no mud.  Cad orange, cad green, magenta, sky blue, and white were all out on my palette for this painting.  I was very careful not mix colors too much because you really can't recover for muddy colors once they are on the canvas.  A little bit abstract with the hard edges and large shapes. Contemporary, abstract, colorful and textural are characteristics of this painting.  

Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  No frame required with the gallery wrap canvas....ready to hang!  Thanks, Kay

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I really got into this palette knife painting yesterday at the studio.  The basic shapes did not change, but the colors were all mixed, and layers of thick oils give this canvas texture.  I have so much paint on the canvas, it will take a long time to dry.  Here are a few pics of my progression with this painting:

 Drawing out the big shapes on the canvas...I usually do this with a filbert brush and paint.

 Covering the canvas with paint...filling in with bold colors.  Making sure that I like the shapes and placement of them.

Using several different sizes of palette knifes, working with the paint, moving it around on the canvas.  This stage of the painting is so much fun!  If I make a stroke I don't like, I just scrape it off....Thanks for looking at what I am doing in the studio...If you have any questions or comments, please contact ME.  Thanks for looking....Kay
