Description
While idly doodle painting the other day a purple Chimera fell onto the paper. It's like reading my tea leaves and finding a grim!
"In Medieval art, though the chimera of Antiquity was forgotten, chimerical figures appear as embodiments of the deceptive, even Satanic forces of raw nature. Provided with a human face and a scaly tail..." [link]
60 x 40 cm Acrylic ink and paint.

oh Harry Potter! Took me a while to work that one out! 
Yeah I like HP but doesn't everyone. I like mythical creatures in general, Take a look at my scottish monster series I did last year! They have been appearing in art through the centuries!
Monsters are great, so I look out for them when I'm doodling. He also looks like a winged lion! You should google image Chimera and see some bronze versions of this guy - its a really cool mythical creature!
Doodling lets the monsters come out!

Pleasantly scary. (I'm glad you put it under abstract, that's my favourite art style

Thanks! It was the thought of one of these creatures that scared me more than my picture!
