Thank you, Eric!!😃

The family dynamic, as it applies to animals and specifically dragons, has always fascinated me. It has provided much inspiration within my dragon work. This one, obviously, inspired by an adult bird feeding their young.

‘Snack Time’. 12”x21”. Oils. Private Collection.

I usually try to render most of paintings in a pretty tight fashion. However, this is one that I experimented with a more textured/brushy technique for the background.

‘Pride’ 8.5x11 oils Private Collection

Sharing an older piece. This was done as a personal piece, but has been used on many products since. Still dragons:)...I just hadn't committed to the 'in nature' aspect, that would come to define more of my personal work.

'Little Silver' 8.5" x11" Oils.

Original available on my site.

I love painting dragons in flight. It usually gives me a chance to do some landscape painting, which I also enjoy:)!

'Black Wyvern' 8.5x11 oils. Private Collection.

Many times I will be inspired to develop paintings in 'series'. When working on one idea another idea will be inspired. In this case while working on 'Coil', a piece I recently shared, the concept for a piece using the opposite values occurred to me.

'Alert' 8.5"x11" oils. Private Collection

I love playing with lighting effects:) It's a great way to control where the viewers eye goes. Also, here's a peak at the preliminary pencil sketch for this one.

This was done as a smaller oil preliminary. It was later developed into the 'Strawberry Fae Dragon'. I love working with this limited palette for this type of thing.

Dragon Preliminary. 5"x7" oils. Original available on my site:)

I have always enjoyed painting the more natural, quiet moments that can convey a sense of emotion visually. Especially with my dragons, because so many times dragons are only depicted as unthinking monsters. Not to me:)
