Curator's Comments & Review
This painting captures a magnificent display of macro wildlife observation, hyper-saturated insect anatomy, and peaceful wetland serenity.
Your viewers will appreciate the intense, sun-drenched golden and copper pigments that make this delicate predator glow like jewelry against the cool greens of the water, transforming a classic nature study into a striking gallery statement piece.
Executed in 5-2023, this vertical composition stands as a stellar masterclass in handling high-visibility color fields and forced foreground perspective and the structural weight of the dragonfly itself.
By painting its long, jointed body and upward-sweeping wings in a rich, highly saturated range of cadmium orange, warm terracotta, and translucent amber-yellows, your brush forces the specimen to leap off the page.
This warm copper anchor stands in beautiful, high-contrast relief against the continuous, cool mint and chartreuse green washes of the marsh below, instantly pulling the viewer's eye straight to the water's edge.
The painting features a signature and date at the bottom right corner: M.R. Campos 5-2023.
