Description
I've been wanting to paint a water dragon for ages! I also have an idea for a giant one swimming underwater, but that'll have to wait for now.What do you think is the story behind this image? It just sort of happened and doesn't have one, but I feel that it should. If any of the writers amongst you would like to suggest an idea it would be really interesting to hear what you come up with. Or if anyone has a better name than "water dragon" please let me know - I am afraid I am pretty useless at thinking of names for my paintings!
This was a commission, but the client just requested a female character in water with a fantasy theme, and you know me, any excuse to paint a dragon
Hope you like it

You don't need an excuse to paint a dragon - being bloody amazing at painting dragons is a pretty good *reason*
I can't offer a better name than Water Dragon, but in my headcanon for the picture, the girl is half-dragon herself, and the two are sisters.

Β Caught red handed.Β Guilty!
The woman has been looking for her misbehaving, disobedient, naughty little pet and finally caught him after hours of search. Her pet, a youngster just adopted last week, has not responded well at all to any of her efforts to train.Β Sometimes, actually more often than not, she really wonders if her precious new companion really thinks it is all just serious good fun to traumatize the entire household!Β But hey, that's ok I guess, because she can not find it within herself to scold or punish him for his errant ways.Β She picks him up, trying to portray some kind of an authoritarian presence, looks at his guilty face and smiles. Β Behold the cuteness!Β Oh well, tomorrow is another day. . . . . . .
Anne,
You really have a remarkable talent!Β I have never before been able to sense emotion from an illustrated character that seems so very real.Β It is not forced, overdone, or even all that obvious.Β It is just there.Β There within all the many little things that show this.Β Little things such as the facial expressions of both characters, hers an indecisive blank not knowing whether to scold and punish or to simply behold the dragon's cuteness and give him a hug,Β the dragon looking as if caught red handed at something forbidden, knuckles tense, tail curled, horns laid back awaiting a possible scolding, and neither one of them even seem to notice there just might be a bit of a water problem . . . . .
I carve glass, mostly table tops.Β The next time I do a large panel I hope it will be a dragon.

Β A beautiful piece! How about an elf princess rescuing a baby dragon from a water filled dungeon.

I think a good name for a water dragon is Gill. I got that from Wings of Fire, Tsunamis dad a Seawing.

They had been looking for one another for a very long time. When they finally found each other, they could not help but to gaze longingly into each other's eyes. They looked different now, but that didn't matter. A bond as deep as theirs recognized each other by their souls not their forms.
In this lifetime they had traded positions. She no longer had to be the subservient one, though she still felt somehow that he would end up with the most power.
In the end those thoughts were fleeting. A slow hiss reminded them of their original purpose. She paused only a moment longer than he did. But it was that moment that sealed their fate. That one second of hesitation that determined they would have to find each other once again in another life...

I like the word "Enraptured". Now who is the one enraptured? He (dragon), seems enthralled with her. While she is looking at him with a sort of loving motherly look. Just my thoughts. I really love this! Truly beautiful work!

This one is my absolute favourite! I still have my pull-out poster from last years calendar. There so many story ideas sitting behind this image! Mostly I think about the irony of a typically fire-based fantasy creature being instead a water creature.

This is my all time favourite of your pieces. It's amazing, maybe the story to it is that this woman was longing for a child so she goes to some ancient temple and there is a pool that can grant you any wish but comes with a cost. So she asks for a child but got a child dragon, instead of hating it she loves it even more because of the beauty it has....??? Lol, may not be the best but a fun idea i just had. <3

The girl there is an elf who went on a perilous journey to save the last few remaining water dragons in the kingdom. When all else fails and the evil sorcerer whose wish is to destroy all dragons seems to succeed, the elf found the last remaining water dragon of its kind.

First thing that popped into my mind: The girl is a young elf princess in a kingdom near the ocean, heir to the throne, and her family was slaughtered by water dragons. She was away at the time but when she got back months later, she found the castle in ruins. She also found a dragon egg left behind. The dragon egg hatched and she became the first in a very long time to "befriend" a dragon and bond with it - thus creating a dragon shaped mark on her arm, enhancing her powers and making her hunted by many. The mother of the dragon also came back looking for the egg but found out it was gone, and she realized the elf princess took the baby dragon. Then the hunt begins.

Oh, my goodness. This is a most beautiful piece, but... um... did you sell this picture to other people? Because my living room clock has this picture on it, and it has no copyright details on it.

This looks amazing! :0 I think the title you gave it works perfectly.
There are so many stories that could go along with this painting. She looks a bit like a priestess in a fantasy-type setting. So, maybe she was one of the handmaidens to an old, powerful dragon. However, that one eventually died, but not before crying a single tear (what she's standing in). From that tear, a new dragon was born.
