THERE BE DRAGONS

"Dragons have long been antagonists in our stories, from weird worms and sly serpents to winged wyverns and fire-breathing beasts, these enchanting creatures appear in our fairy tales as both fearsome and wise. Revered across many countries and cultures, dragons feature in some of the world’s most famed legends, including the tales of Saint George and King Arthur, originating in England and Wales, as well as the Ancient Greek myths of Hercules and Perseus."

For night's swift dragons cut the cloud full , And yonder shined Aurora's harbinger, At whose approach ghosts wandering here and there, Trooping hone to church-yards...For fear lest day should their shames, They will fully exile themselves from light, And for aye, black brow'd night. (William Shakespeare) 

I posted a page of images for you to use if you wish in your Dragon artwork! Have fun this week creating your own dragons! Don't get burned!

Here are my Dragon Creations!

I am sorry the Challenges have been late these past couple of weeks. My Father passed away 3 weeks ago and so it has been hard. I have lost both my parents in the span of one year. If it were not for my art and be able to create art with my wonderfully, imaginative, artist friends I would have felt vey lost! I thank you for always motivating me and inspiring me with everything you create!

Thank you for joining in on the challenge!
