When I hear "Dragonfly" the first thing that comes to mind is the work of Stephanie Law. If you've never come across her work take a look, it's beautiful.

Thank you for the suggestion; she has gorgeous work. It sort of reminds me of Trina Shart Hyman and James Browne.

@djlambson Woah, that’s very cool! Interesting information and a great resource for dragonfly movement studies. Thanks for sharing I’m in the research stage for this prompt so I expect I might end up spiralling into a bit of distraction tornado myself today haha

James Browne

Oh nice, I like her illustrations a lot, thanks. James Browne I've been following for a while, he does some fantastic work. Stephanie's art like most peoples is even more spectacular to see in person.

Mairin Kareli

@chrisaakins I like the color play. The bright green with the red contrast definitely leads my eye to the dragon-fly. The rustic colors below are beautiful and varied. Thanks for posting.

@josegalue25 beautiful oriental style. The use of color leads the eye in a triangle. First the dragonfly, then the fish, then the berries and back to the dragonfly. Blues and grays set them off nicely.
