Mr. Aaberg won national recognition in 2008 with his painting Take Me Out being selected from over 1,000 entries by AARP for its 2009 calendar.  The painting was on exhibit in Washington, DC in September, 2008, for the AARP 50^th Anniversary and Annual Expo.

In the fall of 2008, Doug and his wife Ann moved to Mystic where the new scenery has developed a new found love for painting sail boats along the Mystic River, marsh land wildlife, seascapes and vibrant sunsets.

Mr. Aaberg continues to develop his artistic talent through the exploration of a variety of styles, ranging from trompe l'oeil to contemporary realism.
