I like watching wildlife around ponds and lakes, so I painted this close-up of a dragonfly in the cattails. I used acrylics with a pearlescent paint for the shine on the dragonfly and the wings. I like how the wings turned out with being able to see through them to a certain extent and the shine/glare on wings in the light to make them look real. A vibrant dragonfly is perched on tall, slender cattails surrounded by a calm, blue background. Its delicate wings are intricately detailed, contrasting with the earthy tones of the cattails. Legend has it that dragonflies were given an extra set of wings so that Angels could ride on their back. When you see this winged beauty, it’s a reminder that an Angel from heaven is visiting you.
