DRAGON SKETCH

Winged Dragon
Now for something completely different....I seldom do visionary fantasy.  I don't feel I have the imagination for it.  However, as Dali once said, 'draw what you dream'.  I wanted to show that I have a bit of versatility, too.  Though I have mostly a classical education in fine arts, I am like any other artist...wanting to step out of the box!   And like most people, I have a mysterious past...oooooooo!  I spent a few years as the newsletter writer (or Wordsmithy) for a local S.C.A. group. (That is the Society of Creative Anachronism, or renaissance faire-type group.)  Hubby had mis-spent his college youth in a Fencing class, and had the time of his life doing fencing challenges.  I found that I enjoyed doing historical research on the life and times of medieval folks.  During that few years, I illustrated the newsletter, wrote it, and drew plenty of dragons.  I never liked any of them.  So it is amazing that I really like this one.  I think it shows my inner nasty side.  Oh, yes!  Everyone has one!  You know that YOU do, too!  Think about it.........
