A Mother and Her Midwife

Ladies this one is for you! I noticed quite a while ago that I really had not done any pieces that appealed specifically to women. I began to think about what kind of image I wanted to create, and how best to do this. I have noticed over the years the following trends in artwork that women seem to respond to the most: First, the dragonfly. I am not sure why this is, but dragonfly designs seem to appeal to most women. Second, the ever popular fairy designs are selling better than ever thanks to a little trilogy called Lord of the Rings! Third, a lot of women prefer art that captures the motherly qualities that most women feel connected to. Fourth, babies, babies, and more babies - gotta have the cute factor. So I thought, why not put all of these elements into one picture. The result is this beautiful representation of what a dragon birthing might look like. Since dragons are magical creatures, the birth of a dragon would no doubt be a very magical thing. With this in mind, what better midwife than a fairy! Add the dragonflies and the cute little dragon hatchlings - and viola! Perfection. I still have not decided if I will release a colored version of this print, but for now the black and white seems to stand out on its own. So again I dedicate this piece to all my female fans, as well as mystical art fans. Enjoy!

very nice peice, alot of the beuty is lost because it is so small here at artwnted, you should release some at renderosity,com and have a much bigger size, most of my work is done 3ooo pix wide, so when it is shrunk for such a small veiwing, ost of the detail is lost, I like your work I really do, keep them comming and all the very best from Keith n Kay at www.falconian.com.
