Artist's Comments

It is considered a good omen when a water dragon emerges from the watery depths, even the smallest of creatures will herald its comming. 

Commissioned piece.  I would have liked to have made the dragon a little more fierce looking, but the person for whom this was done, it very pleased with it.

I thought that was Nessy for a second [emoticon]

I really like the fireflies, and the individual highlights and shadows on the dragon.

Beatifully done! Despite the fearsome dragon, the entire scene has a serene feeling. The "fireflies" and the placid surface of the water add a nice touch that makes the entire setting feel much calmer and more relaxed.
