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:
The Populous Cast Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

Yeah i love this character..but why is he tied up all the time!! Awesome choice with the blue~! suits him.
Firedrake replied
Not sure! Maybe it makes him feel secure….:)
Damian
Poor guy :)
Whatever’s hunting these guys must be pretty impressive though!
Firedrake replied
Yes…these beasts are 100 points!
Cornelia Togea

Michael Alesich

Sort of a 3-d url-burl, I may have misspelled, snake eating it’s own tail. I dig it.
Firedrake replied
Url-burl? What is this curious beast.

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 :)
KellyThomas
she is a beautiful colour. yes, i’ve decided it’s a girl.. but i guess you do have the final say ;-)
Brian Towers
‘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?
Firedrake replied
Supply his own fire…hahaaha
I think this one may be a colddrake rather than a firedrake :)
Peter Coleman
excellent work, blue is always good
you could pick your teeth with those little spikes after you BBQ it
Firedrake replied
And then put your marshmallows on them!
MaKayla Songer

Excellent Kaitlin!
BLYTHART
Don’t let my wife see this, or it may give her ideas on how to stop me talking :)
BLYTHART
Put this in the Blue group Kaitlin.
Vanella Mead
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 replied
Yes, he could be rather ungrateful!
Jan Piller
Fantastic work… simply amazing….
saniismail

Firedrake replied
Thanks!
Michelle Boyer
Great work
JohnYo
I love your ideas
Stephanie Smith
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…
BlueKnot
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 replied
Haha yeah – and I don’t think he can regrow his tail :)
IWML
awesome. oh, in answer to someone up above’s comment, and yr question, the “snake eating its own tail” thing isn’t an “url-burl”, it’s an “ouroborous”. cheers!
Firedrake replied
Haha, thanks! I have always loved those things, but didn’t know the name for it. I like circular compositions so I think I’ll do more :)

I wrote my grandchildren a story that began with an egg I found on the bank of the creek across the street. I used to be a wildlife rehabilitator, so it grew from there. The egg, incidentally, was very hard, smaller than a robin’s egg, and white. I have no idea what it is, or even if it’s stone. A real mystery. Anyway, a dragon hatches, and eventually returns to the swamp.
Needless to say, your wonderful drawings of dragons are very special to me. I’m so happy to be able to see your artwork.
Firedrake replied
Thanks so much! Maybe keep that egg somewhere warm, you never know… :)
