Moss Dragon, small version~

by Kelley Hensing

“Moss Dragon” represents nature’s green flora and fauna. Part of my dragon series in progress, centered around earth elements. I’ve painted this piece as both a color study and as a finished small version. This image will be featured in my print and note card collection. Later I’ll use it as reference to create a large scale painting of my creature.

Medium is in oils, with acrylic under painting over archival paper on board. The gold metal frame originally encircled a mirror, which I thought would be fun to include as the back of the piece.

Art measures 11×11 inches
