‘Of the Heavens’ — watercolor & mixed media on paper
This my first painting I created for my recent exhibition, ‘Fables’. I’ve always had a fascination for folktales around the world. These stories have always sparked wonder in my imagination as a kid, so I wanted to create my own personal interpretation of a few fabled creatures with respect to the traditions, symbology and legends where they come from. The first that came to mind was that of the Dragon, a creature prevalent throughout a lot of East Asian cultures and often symbolic of power, fortune and the divine. So, here’s my interpretation of the Dragon, blessed with auspicious jade eyes & claws 😄 #brbchasingdreams

The final piece from my recent show, ‘In Harmony.’ The Eastern Phoenix is often associated with harmony and new beginnings. In trying to portray those associations, the body is decorated with floral motifs; little sprouts blooming from its back, and tail feathers resembling a blossoming flower #brbchasingdreams
