I've been wanting to paint this dragonfly for awhile. I took his photo at the gardens in South Carolina...It wasn't easy catching one still enough for a photo! I painted his wings with a pearlescent Great American pastel. It really sparkles nicely in real life. I'd like more of these pastels...I'll put that on my wish list!

love the colors, just the right time to use those pearlescent ones.
Thanks Carol...the shimmer is really cool in real life!
Oooo its perfect, I love it. A wonderful way to catch those wings.
I love dragonflies! They come perch on me all summer long when I'm sitting outside. You captured this one beautifully, especially the wings.
I hope you don't mind, I posted your dragonfly on
my blog. It instantly made me think of someone I love very much and I knew it would send her just the right message. Your work is lovely. Thank you.
