Naskeag Dragon (2013)
Beware the dragons of Maine
While living on the East Coast, we took a week one summer to get away from the bustle of NYC to rural, coastal Maine. Apart from the overwhelming amount of mosquitos (if there are mosquitoes around, you want to be near me), it was a lovely time and the trip informed two very different paintings.
For awhile, this dragon existed painted on just a gray field background. I had painted it in monochrome for use in another project, and then left it sitting around. I scanned the painting in, digitally colored and tweaked it, and put it together with a digital background and it served its purpose, but the painting served no greater use after that.
