"Gaurdian of the River" by Candace E. Bell

Is it me or does it look like it's sniffing something in the air? (not meant rudely)
Apart from the overuse of name..... i have to applaude you! its really gd !!You have captured and created a powerful dragon! Well done !

Candace E. Bell replies: "I guess maybe he does look like he sniffing the air he he. Thank you for your compliment"

Wow, this is very cool. I really like the dragon you have there. Pretty spiffy, if you ask me. The variation and usage of colors in this is wonderful!

Candace E. Bell replies: "Thanks, this has to be my favorite painting of them all! One I am very proud of."

wow that is a perfect dragon. It looks so calm and you don't normally see calm dragons on this sight. A very capturing piece.

Candace E. Bell replies: "That’s right!I really like most of my dragon painting to come off as more spiritual and enchanting, dragons don’t have to be mean and ferocious, I think of them as being noble with lots of pride and beauty "

A wonderful picture of adragon he/she looks so relaxed walking along the river

Candace E. Bell replies: "Thanks, the dragon does appear confortable and relaxed, that was the whole idea with the mood of the painting "

It kinda looks like he just got a miner insult and he has put his head up in the air b4 he diputes it or b4 he blasts them with his fire breath *thinks for a minit* or dose he breath water? It would make since to have water brething dragon gaurding river don't ya think? I feel like i must ask that since it is your dragon and your choice as to what is his breth weapon. But anyway i still think that it is a great pic i looked at it b4 but didn't comment i can't remember why i didn't but whatever i've commented now and i relized somthing just about all of my comments on your gallery have been long and i don't useally leave long comments so your art must be really good or at least they inspire me thank you for inspireing me *runs off to look at more art*
(sorry 'bout any misspeling)

Candace E. Bell replies: "Ha ha!!, after looking over a bunch of your comments you are starting to seem like quite the hyper and bubbly character. Believe me when I say I love when I get paragraph comments, they are always the best, sometimes I wont respond to "two word" comments. I really appreciate hearing the viewers thoughts. I do try my best to reply to most all the comments and so far have replied to all of yours since you took the time to leave me lengthily comments. As far as deciding what the dragon can breath, That’s up to you, I like the people to deiced for themselves what they think. I don’t see why a water dragon shouldn’t be able to breath fire?? Its fantasy after all, anything goes *wink* "

Ahaa! Hehehee... he... Ah, this is lovely... The clear blue water just sort of wandering along as the dragon strolls leisurly by, enjoying the beauty of the day. You captured the "Just happened to be here" feeling flawlessly, makes me feel like I'm peeking in on his world. I salute your style!

Candace E. Bell replies: "Thanks, I wanted this painting to be "refreshing" this is my very favorite of them all!"

Amasiling as usual. Do you have a story for this one?

Candace E. Bell replies: "Thanks, Not really *pout* But out of all my pictures/paintings this one is my absolute favorite, I’m pretty emotionally attached to it. I wish I never sold it *cries* "

What a fascinating peice of artwork this is. Its funny, becouse just as i stumbled on to this site, i happened to be drawing a picture of a dragon myself. how ironic. The picture makes me feel, a bit like i am a sea mermaid sitting on the bank, and that fine dragon you drew is my best friend and loyal protector... Im not the kid i used to be, but my imagination is as good as new. Anyway good luck fellow artist, make many more beautiful creations for me to love!

Candace E. Bell replies: "Sounds like a great imagination to me and I quite like the plot you came up with, in fact I might borrow it for myself! Thanks for the comment!"

He's beautiful he has a very proud and majestic look about him.

Candace E. Bell replies: "Thank you, that is the look I was going for, proud and majestic! "

That is one cool looking dragon! It’s a great oil painting. Just amazing!
