Waterdragon Landing, Acrylic: Watermedia, 29X22 Inches
To see more of Donna's artwork, visit her website.
The reflected summer sky is a pale iridescent blue surrounded by cool blue and greenish shadows. The color of the sky seems to be just the same as the abdomen of the dragonfly. This beautiful dragonfly with the bluish green eyes is maybe a blue dasher. After ordering 3 books on dragonfly identification, I am still not confident of my skills with identification and am only slightly less confused than before. As an artist, I can see that they have the most beautiful intricate wings and eyes that look like a thousand little pixels. They like sun best and seem to be most active during the hottest part of the day. They eat bugs (I like the word bugs better than insects) and if the books are correct sometimes each other. They fly with their legs folded underneath their bodies unfolding them to land.
