Dani Bunting

I’ve painted for more than 30 years, working in various mediums, but watercolor is the one that truly found me. I’m drawn to the way water and pigment move together — something I can’t fully control — and I’ve come to see that openness as part of the work itself.

My paintings are mostly quiet nature scenes: a fox paused in the snow, a hummingbird in bloom, horses fading into dusk. They’re not just depictions of animals or landscapes; they’re an attempt to share something I couldn’t quite put into words. Each piece is an original watercolor on premium cold-press paper.

I’m D. Bunting, based in Searcy, Arkansas. I paint under the name Dragonfly Watercolor Artisan. When a piece finds a new home, I hope it brings a little of the stillness or wonder that was present when it was made.
