About Me
- aaronlifferth
- Painting really is one of the greatest challenges of my life, and I love that challenge. I cannot think of a time in my life when some form of art was not part of who I am. Art definitely defines in part whom I have become. I love the process of painting. The decision making along the way seems to be part instinctual and part learned, which allows for an internal dialogue that somehow connects all artists of any discipline. I use Utrecht paints for no other reason than convenience in proximity. As for brushes, I currently use Utrecht’s watercolor brushes (which may seem odd for oil paints). I find they give a nice flat application of paint. I also like that these brushes are less expensive, compared to high priced oil brushes. As for the success of any artist, I believe the key is in the doing. For me that means learning as much as I can from artists I admire, while ignoring their advice; thus allowing for my own response. I have a BFA from the University of Utah, where I studied mainly under John Erickson. I was invited to be an Artist in Residence down in Helper, Utah during the summer of 2004.

Love this man...just stopping by to see it it in full size after seeing it on email.
I hope you don't mind it if I use the word cute in my comments on this painting. That was my first thought though, which to me just demonstrates how well you captured the character of the honey bottle. It's very interesting to see how simply the bear is painted in order to get the point across. I probably would have made the mistake of over-painting this subject. Beautiful (and cute too).
Wow! Aaron what an awesome painting. You are a true master at painting clear objects --- glass/ plastic.
Your strokes are beautiful. I envy how you capture objects in so few strokes.
Keep creating. I love your work.
Hi Aaron, Paris is right, you definitely can paint clear objects beautifully! I have tagged you.
Keep up the great work!
A really fun painting! I like the reflection of light on the bear:)
Now THIS made me smile this morning. Delightful! I also received my second purchase today, going to the framer today to have the pair framed. Love the directness of your work, but want to see more landscapes!
LOVE this!!!
I hope the lucky recipient of your salt shaker also gets this gem!
Thanks for the smile - and for it being from artfulness, not "cuteness"!!! Very grateful for that!
