"Dancing Dragonflies" is my latest illustration. This drawing was inspired by a couple who are getting married in October, their theme is dragonflies and their colors are deep violet and cranberry red. For some reason I kept seeing two dragonflies in my mind and just had to get the design down on paper ... and the color combination of violet and red was a great plus!
The dragonflies took about two days to complete, during which time I kept mulling over in my mind what should I do with the background? Leaves kept popping up ... so, once I had completed the two dragonflies I made a copy and began experimenting ...since leaves predominated my mind, I started there, grabbed a green art pen and started randomly putting them down on paper. I liked the effect it was having and grabbed the original and spent the next two days drawing green leaves!
I think this drawing really turned out quite nice and am happy to share it with you today, so... here is

This illustration is now available in my Etsy Shop as an authorized art print (your choice of print size up to 8.5" x 11") and as an open edition ACEO (size 2.5" x 3.5").
I was really surprised when I made my first print of the original ... the print actually looked better than the original! That's a first and quite a nice surprise!
Happy Day All!
