I believe God created amazing and often surprising beauty in all of nature not only so that like would attract like in order that species would flourish but also for Mankind's enjoyment. God also made it so that certain people would have enormous talents for recreating that beauty... like you have. Gorgeous work!💙💚

I love dragonflys too. This one is absolutely beautiful ..but where is It's little antennae? I saw a dragonflys sitting on top of one of my vermilion geraniums..I got near it and looked at it very closely..I started turning around it so I could see all sides..it was the same color as the geranium..vermillion..beautiful..then I realized it was also turning to look at me!! ..it was irredescent and stunning.i have not seen one like it. That was about 40 years ago. Thank you for taking your time to show us your wonderful technique.

This is a stunning piece! As I watched your painting process and narrative, it brought back childhood memories of admiring dragonflies in our yard. I was always fascinated by the iridescent colors and intricate detail in their wings and exoskeleton. You captured this detail in such a remarkable way. Beautiful 🤩

Exquisite! He’s more beautiful than reality. I agree…the cycloptic marking in the Darner isn’t pleasant.

I love your description of the wing structure not being random. Make me think of the original Designer of the creature. 🙏🏽❤️
