It will be nice when it's warm enough for Dragonfly's to perform their dainty dance again. At least we are moving in the right direction, it has been a mild week end here in Scotland. I made the most of it by going out on a huge bike ride over the Lammermuir hills. I went through some places I hadn't heard of before. At one point my pal Frank and I were up higher than the wind turbines!! Today, I took part in the Borders cross country race at
Norham and I would guess that it was the muddiest, wetest race I've been in. The organisers made sure that we got properly wet by routing us through a burn (stream) nine, yes nine times, so now I'm feeling tired but happy.
The Dragonfly was done about a year and a half ago and has spent most of it's life on the wall of the art room at Tynepark. The funny thing is it went missing for a couple of weeks and then returned to the same place. Maybe he was visiting relatives.
Dear Ray,
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful watercolor, particularly, colors are so lovely. Congrats!
Kind regards, Sadami
Hi Ray - thanks for visiting my challenge blog. I'd love to see your new work inspired by my prompts. Love that you jumped out to go somewhere new! Wet, muddy runs are fun - hoping to have a few once all our snow melts. You put a lot of effort in to make those delicate dragonfly wings. The soft background makes sure he wasn't overpowered. Funny to think he'd gone to visit relatives. LOL Hugs, and good health!
