Giant Dragonfly Goes for a Joy Ride – 4″ x 6″ Watercolor & Ink

The two (yes… thank goodness it was two) seperate photos I used to paint this gem, were posted to WetCanvas by Oty.  Oty is from Greece and I’m pretty sure their dragonflies are regular sized.

I got to hear Mary Engelbreit speak to a small group at AmericasMart in Atlanta in 2011.  She is an amazing woman and very inspiring.  She has built an amazing empire with her art.  Go Mary!
