I guess the adage, Don't paint yourself into a corner actually worked out better this time, @borisindrikov. That's awesome how you were able to see another subject in all of that. I really like the combination of colors for entire painting, but in particular that of the dragon. The colors give it a weight, a presence, an elegance and an intelligence. This is no ordinary creature.
Well done on the curie vote. Very much deserved.
Thank you very much! :-)))
