Description Just because I could. But truth be told I was more interested in his horse than George here...
Have seen heaps of paintings of this scene in countless catholic churches as a child. Remembered them just because of the Dragon.

Thank you This time I occurred to me a touch of Gold may work better than a touch of Red

Or maybe said that I missed the point , human begins (saint or not) should be no match for his monsters
But I'm glad you like it

Nice work!   When I saw the title and thumbnail I was sort of hoping that this time the Dragon was doing better than George   I think it is doing better than in most depictions, and the golden blood is a very effective visual device.

Thank you Years ago the original intention was to draw George eaten by the dragon... Something went wrong this year Not sure how...
And I agree, the real drawing, without gold , purely in pencil, looks much more bland.

Maybe next year the Dragon will have his day.   I didn't mean to suggest the image would be lacking without the gold color, I meant that it is a very effective use/choice of some 'spot color'- suggesting his blood is some otherworldly substance which is unlike everything else in the material world.

Gorgeous! Too often, the dragon is portrayed as pretty small, little more than an alligator.

Yes, indeed, puny little dragon, it always made me feel it is not a ferocious battle but matter of animal cruelty
