acrylic on illustration board
original- sold

Before anything, I have to say that this is one of my favorite paintings. :deviation: :love: The idea is of a young dragon wrapping up its first day of learning to fly… the pixies are probably just being curious.

I did this using a new technique for trees I discovered, and it was a major challenge to complete. I painted the more distant trees first, using very little detail and duller colors, then worked my way forward, using brighter colors, higher contrast, and more detail as I did. When it came time to paint the dragon, I couldn’t decide what color to make its wings- yellow or fuchsia. I had to scan it onto the computer and test color it before I could make a final decision.

There's something about your pink skies that draw me into them. I love this.

The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which means learning, study, science, and additionally came to have the narrower and more technical meaning "mathematical study", even in Classical times.

"It doesn't really matter if he's "popular." A person who is truly popular is compassionate, friendly, and trustworthy. So, if he's not any or one of those, then he's not popular, he just has quite a bit of friends." ~sawahgrace
