The dragon: The Chinese dragon is a symbol of power and is
nonthreatening, contrary to western thought, where dragons are painted
with a venomous air. In this painting I tried to capture a light
fantasy friendly creature. The subject of Sumi-e art is nature, which is
the style of this painting. Green was selected to convey nature, for a
peaceful and pleasing environment. Red is the contrasting color to green
which creates a tension, pleasing to the eye.
