Description I hope this is fairly self explainatory. This is a dragon that lives in Oak trees and it's body is designed to camoflague in with the foliage.

In my spare time, when I am not working on art commissions, I am producing a range of wildlife style takes on different dragons. This a fairly slow process as I have very little spare time but eventually I hope to enough for a book, or at least a calendar!

I have had some other ideas for how these Oak dragons live and look. I think having eggs that look just like acorns would be cool and I could paint a dragon curled up on a little twig nest filled with them.

I painted this picture in acrylics. You can see some work in progress images of it in my scraps section.

Ironshod;

I've seen many dragons over the years, and this is one of the finest. Love your 'Oak' association, since forest dragons have been around for a
very long time. I assume this one is English?

Perhaps you'd like to share your work on our society pages.

Delightful conception! The camouflage is beautiful. So realistic I could imagine him high in an oak tree tolerating some chatty squirrels who were, of course, keeping a respectful distance. Very nice.

OnixEyes2 [2011-09-23 01:36:35 +0000 UTC]

wow! That's really cool! I like it when an artist takes a well-known creature, like a dragon, and places it in a strange and unique situation, like in an oak tree as an oak dragon. Great job!
