Red Darter dragonfly painting

€200.00

The glorious, shimmering wings of the dragonfly just shouted for a rich, glittering setting, created here with watercolours, metallic acrylic inks and 22ct gold leaf. The painting, on deckle torn pure cotton paper, has been float mounted in a deep box frame of limed wood, ready to hang or to stand on a shelf. Outside dimensions 28 x 28 x 4 cm.

Dragonflies are extraordinary creatures, dancing through the air like aerial acrobats and able to reverse direction in an instant. Across cultures they have many associations, most commonly relating to transformation, but also to courage, luck and joy. Wherever this one lands, may it carry all those good thoughts !

Shipping is included in Ireland.

While every effort is made to represent the colours of the original painting as accurately as possible, variations may occur according to the screen on which the image is viewed.

The finest quality artist watercolours, pure cotton paper and genuine gold leaf are used, and the colours should not fade. It is recommended, however, not to hang watercolour paintings in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
