Chinese Dragon
I had to do some research on this painting. I wanted to make this dragon as acurrate as I could to what a Chinese dragon is suppose to look like. The dragons are said to be made up of many different types of animals of the Earth. Head: Camel, Scales: Carp (fish) 117 scales total - 81 infused with yang, the good, and 36 infused with yin the bad. This evens out the dragons temper and personality. I didn't put the scales on the dragon I was afraid of ruining it. So I guess this dragon is going to be unbalanced. Here is the rest of the Earth animals Horns: Giant Stag (deer), Eyes: hare (rabbit), Ears: Bull, Neck: Snake, Belly: Clam, Paws: Tigers, and Claws: Eagle. I grabed references of these animals to come up with my Chinese dragon. The symbol at the top left corner means dragon in Chinese.
I would also like to share pictures of my art room and the new easel I got for Christmas. This is the first painting I got to paint on this easel. Yes, I know this room is a mess. It's the spare room in my house and It's also the junk room of the house.
SOLD!
