Description

For the second painting in the Jazzdragon series, I chose to try a new dragon position - as if our dancing dragon was going into a power dive. The background you see here is one of the first times I tried applying salt on a non-class-related finished piece of art, and I found that I was very pleased with the marbled effect that it produced.

I added the geometric shape to kind of "herd" the colors and to give the eye something to latch onto as it moves around the image. This is the first time I tried THAT little trick, too, and it seems to have been fairly successful. But I would need to experiment with geometry a little more.

This dragon was painted in 2000. I used watercolor (with salt) and colored pencil.

Original artwork: available - $125.

Prints: not available.
