Blue Dragon

Fiiiiiiinally finished. A companion piece to this one I did a year and a half ago:

I decided the other day that there was a distinct lack of blue paintings in my folio! Had to rectify the situation.

He is approx 30cm square, watercolour/pastel etc on canvas.

He has shiny silver leaf on his spikes too.

Blue Dragon belongs to the following groups:

    Sort of a 3-d url-burl, I may have misspelled, snake eating it’s own tail. I dig it.

    Url-burl? What is this curious beast.

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to salsbells69’s comment, 4 months ago

    Not sure! Maybe it makes him feel secure….:)

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Damian’s comment, 4 months ago

    Thanks everyone for the nice feedback. I nearly poked a hole through it at one point, so I wouldn’t have to make a decision on whether to finish it! Glad I didn’t wreck it now :)

    ‘I’ll get back to you, I’m all tied up at the moment’. I always like your dragons – they look less threatening than the real ones (like my mother-in-law). Looks like he’s headed for the barbecue; does he supply his own fire?

  • Peter Coleman

    Peter Coleman, 4 months ago

    you could pick your teeth with those little spikes after you BBQ it

    I think this one may be a colddrake rather than a firedrake :)

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Peter Coleman’s comment, 4 months ago

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to Liesl Yvette Wilson’s comment, 4 months ago

    I love this picture it makes me want to undo the string and find out what happens. I’m sure he would probably eat my fingers!

  • Firedrake

    Beautiful! I’m loving all of your enigmatic beasties and beakfaces, but the rich color really makes this one stand out! I’d hate to meet whoever it is who’s been tying these guys up…

    That is clearly the best way to bind them… if they manage to snort out anything hot they’re going to burn something tender!

    Excellent piece!

  • Firedrake

    Firedrake in reply to BlueKnot’s comment, 1 day ago

    Haha yeah – and I don’t think he can regrow his tail :)
