'The first wingbeat signals the start of life’s journey.'

Dragons are invariably shown as solitary and frequently engaged in combat, which is why I chose to paint a more intimate scne, but still one wrought with it's own drama and narratives.

The compositional structure is a strong triangular form, drawing the viewer to the parents head, accentuated by the positioning of the sun and rim light. Overlaid this is a sinuous 'S' which helps with creating energy and movement.

Dat is a BIG dragon... and even the babies easilly outsize the castle...

makes me wonder how many babies are killed in legends and what would happen if one of the OLD dragons awoke...
