A miniature dragon and a little fairy.  Best friends forever.  The Celtic drawing they are "sitting on" represents their friendship, eternally intertwined.  So intertwined are the celtic knots that the only way to untagle them is to cut the thread, thus destroy it.  Indeed, the little dragon and fairy could only be separated by death.  Such a friend is rare indeed, and all the more treasured for it.

I've looked through several of your drawings and, so far, this is my favorite. It shows nice detail, shading (which you said you were just getting into) and a gentle, more peaceful quality that the other pictures do not. This is the way I see you, although I realize the Fantasy drawings all hold a certain gore-factor. I've never been one for scary movies but I was definitely a Trekkie. So, I'm showing my age, but...hey...we thought of it first! 1

:-) Lydia Thomas replies: "Thanks Sue, but all fantasy drawings don't hold a gore factor. There is beauty as well, you should look around elfwood some, you'll find some very beautiful things. Thanks for commenting!"
