There is a withering tree that has struggled it's way all the way atop a mountain. A dragon is curiously inspecting it.

Hi. I'm back! I'll try to keep this short..
The bark on the tree looks very nice indeed and so does the tree itself. So fragile. And the dragon (at least to me) looks so sad as it touches the tree. I assume it is touching the tree despite the fact you can't see it because of the rock in front of the hand. The rock, by the way, looks very surreal. Like a horn or sumttin that the tree has grown itself onto. The opening of the sky looks good, the way the clouds stand aside allowing the orange (orange is always good!) sky to really glow behind the two, the dragon and the tree. The ground in the back looks very stony, very cold and I'm not sure if that was intentional, but the on the dragons wings, the dirt looks like the blue skin colour slowly melting off. Maybe the dragon is so old that its colours are fading as well as its "hair" (whatever you might call it) is turning gray. Maybe the dragon has come out to the mountains to die (the way the Indians used to do) and noticed this old tree, came by to look at it. Maybe I'm dead-wrong!
Summa summarum, I like this one. I'd give it 8 out of 10.
A funny thing, the "hair" on the dragon is styled like those 80's rock singers, Bon Jovi's or David Lee Roth's hair.

:-) Janne Vuollet replies: "Wow hey dude oh man oh fella! Great comment! I wish I got more of this kind of comments. Great that you found something more to say about the picture than just "wow amazing watercolor work" or "your watercolor technique sucks!". Actually you are quite right about the dragon touching the tree. Though the point was more about the persistent tree that had struggled it's way all the way up the mountain, though losing most of it's vitality and green leafs. The wings I couldn't quite pull out as I wanted, cause the watercolor got partially dried up before I could finish it so it came out like that. Anyways. Nice comment!"
