Flying Fish, by Aaron Morse, commissioned by Laura Dahl

I’ve been getting enthusiastic feedback on dahlight’s featured artist who is responsible for the current site banner.  To all you fans out there, here is a brief look at the inspired work of my friend, Aaron Morse.

AARON MORSE
Aaron is a good friend of mine who’s work I love, obviously. Several of his pieces hang in my home and I even commissioned him to do a large ocean piece with a cool pirate boat and huge golden flying fish. He painted it on a metal screen which gives it an interestingly shear effect that can be manipulated by different colored walls and back lighting. A very cool piece if I do say so myself.
