Spirit Dragon

by Kelley Hensing

This painting is the fifth and final dragon in my “Elemental Dragon” series. The Spirit Element (also known as Aether, Chi, or Quintessence) is the transcendent energy that bonds the other four physical elements together, known as fire, earth, air and water.

Medium: oils over acrylics over drawing, painted onto round wood. The frame came built onto the panel, which started as flat raw wood. I’ve painted and embellished it with faux gold decor to complement the piece. (See photos for details.)

Size: art 14 x 14 in, with frame 15.25 x 15.25 in. Frame depth 1 in.

*This piece is newly painted! And still needs the final varnish- so shipping time would be the 1st-2nd week in Feb~
