Dragonflies dart in and out among the willow branches that dangle over the edge of a pond. The subject matter of this painting reminded of the expressive watercolors by 20th century Chinese masters of the Shanghai School depicting hanging plum branches, bamboo, flowers and all types of insects, birds, tadpoles, shrimp and many other animals.
Painting is edged in Parakeet Green that appears to glow in a Paul LaFlam artist-made custom float frame, white. Exhibitions: Botanicals & Blooms IV, 2024, Green Door Art Gallery, Webster Groves, MO.
