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.

Always amazed and impressed with the beauty of your work. Simple and elegant.
Hi Aaron,
You get so much drama out of a still life. This one says, "I like green tea, and you like Orange Pekoe -- let's make two pots and share the green apple." Lovely as usual.
Barbara
another kill
LOVE it!
you are killing me ;)
Hello Aaron,
I just recently discovered your work, very nice. You're able to capture quite a mood with your paintings. You convey a lot with minimal brushwork, not easy to do. Great technique, nice handling of the textural surface of the paint as well. Really well done!

Hi Aaron, Your work is great and I have been a non-commenting fan for quite a while.Now that I'm commenting, a few things, I enjoy the way your paintings include essentials sometimes a little more or less. every mass or brushstroke "pays rent" for the area they consume. My favorite recent is, "Glass Bench" just great. and thank you very much for the visit and compliments, Dan
just "tagged" you on my blog. hope you'll play!
as always you never fail to please on this last one.
ditto on "killer"
oh yeah i ripped you off... see "glass jar" a few posts back. should be on a Free Art Lesson i filmed for Jerrys Artarams (national art supply company)
it'll probably be done in a week or so. go to jerrysartama.com and click Free Art Lessons.
they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery LOL
you are the KING and my "tribute" doesnt come close to your mastery of glass. i'll keep trying tho!
later my friend...
Really clean and strong! go utes!
Aaron
my first comment on your work. I am a new aspiring artist and I find your work fantastic - simple stokes and beautiful colours transforming the most simple of images. I am just getting back to my own work after a bit of a delay and at some stage hopefully will be exploring things with a vain hope to achieving some small semblance of simplicity as you yourself achieve.

Love the colors in this one.
I really like the low key palette you used here.
