This is the second in the family trio of dragons for the Dragons and Pearls Event in October. Although I consider her finished, I might add some more colour (greens probably ) to the wings. What's your opinion?Here are two images of the work in progress.
As you can see from the top finished work, I adjusted her after this as the belly and back portions needed to run into each other more smoothly... and I darkened the area behind the large pearl in her hand to help make it more prominent, turning it into a rock for her right arm to rest on.Now onto number three - daddy, which I think I will do all in shades of blue and make him strong, fiery and handsome! Not sure about the background having already used a tree for baby and mountains for mummy.

Well, she's just lovely! I would touch a bit of green inside the wings but not much. How cool this dragon family is going to be! Perhaps papa can be over the water?
Thanks Rhonda for your ideas. It seems from my flickr account as well that the opinion is to add more colour to the wings. The idea of water behind 'papa' is great. Why didn't I think of that as I love painting water??
Hi Joan I've enjoyed catching up on your posts I've missed whilst on holiday. I especially like the gladiola and these dragons are cute.
What a lovely dragon-mom:-) I love her eyelashes. Your background is superb. Can't wait to see Papa dragon:-)
I saw a TV programme the other night that established links between the folklore of the Dragon, (Griffin, Thunderbird etc) to the discovery by ancient peoples of fossilised dinosaur bones and skulls. How lovely to think of them sitting around the campfire with their fossil bones, spinning tales to their families of a family of dragons!
