My wife loves dragonflies and now that it is spring, they are all over the place! So a couple of weeks ago, partly inspired by fellow water colorist Kandi Thompson and her piece "
Dragon Fly", I decided to paint a dragonfly. I started with a pencil sketch, and added in some background color, and then it sat on my art table for about 2 weeks...I'm not sure why I was stuck. Was it the translucent wings? Deciding the colors?
I finally sat down this morning and just whipped it out. Once I had the brush in my hand, the paint just flowed out of it...literally! Looking back, maybe it needed that time to process it, but once I put my mind to it, it happened. I think I just had a bad case of procrastination.
