Magenta Dragon on Green

by Kelley Hensing

I’d sketched out this little twisting dragon from my head, while trying out the surface of a small round wood panel I’d bought. I enjoyed being spontaneous as I continued, blocking in the underpainting using bright acrylics, then finishing the final piece using oil paints.

The panel is unframed and measures about 8 x 8 inches and is close to 1 inch deep. (See pic with hand for scale.) The edge of the wood is dimensional (see pic for detail) and I’ve painted this with gold paint.
