Dragons #8, 9, 10, 11, and 12

   I haven't been on here in a long time. I have been quite busy.

   I finished my art portfolio and all of my dragons about the time I published my last entry here. However, as I said a few months ago, for logical reasons, I would show the pictures in the order I did them, in an orderly fashion. Here they are.

   #8: Girl with Wild Dragon
   
   This is a colored pencil drawing. The original picture that I drew this from pictured the dragon with a broken wing, or a piece of it missing, with a thorn in it. I decided I would draw the dragon healthy instead. :) 

    The girl is gently holding the dragon's hand.....





 #9: The Woman and the Dragon

   In the Bible, the book of Revelation has many symbols representing things that God says will happen in the end times. Chapter 12 of Revelation has a woman and a ferocious dragon as symbols. 

   Revelation 12: 1-4
   "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them down to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it." 

   The woman.......



   .....and the dragon. 
This is a close up of the dragon's heads.

                                                               HISSSSSS!!!!! ROOOOAAARRR!!!!!




  
   I have been told more than once that Revelation is a hard book of the Bible to understand. I have read this chapter more than once too. I don't get it. I do know that the dragon represents the devil.








 #10: The Komodo Dragon
   When I was working on this drawing, my art teacher told me that it looked 3D. This is another concept of what a dragon is. And it's wild.










  #11: My New Pet

    I did this artwork with regular pastels and colored pencils. For the fingers and the background, I used pastels. For the dragon and the steam coming out of its mouth, I used colored pencils. 





   I like how the tail curls around one of the fingers.

 #12: Interstate Apocalypse
    What an accident. I don't know what I or the rest of traffic would do if that thing were in the middle of the road......
    The whole city underneath the bridge would probably see it and panic.

 What a crash. 

Well, that's the collection I have done, my concentration of 12 pieces of dragon artwork.

I am working on some more songs and reading more about recording studios.

The 2000s Mall

 Our world has gotten more and more depersonalized by the minute. Adults throwing temper tantrums, not being able to log into a computer without it tracking your account to a certain device, and robots making decisions for us have become the norm. And this is the world that I graduated into to work in. Particularly in the last four years, I have seen people behave in ways that they should be ashamed of. I have seen six-year-olds behave much more maturely than many adults I have seen. I realize that I am only in the first few years of my working life, but not too long ago things were much better. The Internet, cell phones and email are all older than me, but I think we need much, much more moderation of what I grew up with that has now grown out of control. If things could go back to the way they were when I was a kid, and even as a young teenager, life would be so, so much better. I know I have said this before, we need to go back to the 2000s. I have shared on this blog the various ba

Polly Esther's Life

Image
My baby kitty, Polly Esther, passed away June 3rd after 18 years of a good life, and finally, aging and refraining from eating for a few months. She may have been in pain from a tumor too.  I knew Polly would pass away sooner or later, as we all will die eventually. I was happy that she had made it to the legal age where she could smoke and vote. Not that she should've done the former, as it's harmful to one's health, and I think she would've done a good job with the latter, voting for LimberButt McCubbins for president (look him up), and choosing whether to vote DemoCat or RepubliCat. I hope any cat that I am a human to can make it this long.   I have always loved cats. I had wanted a cat from the time I was five years old. I remember laying in bed with my mother one night, and I told her, "Mommy, I want a cat. And I want to name her Polly." She said, "We'll have to pray for a kitty, honey." My father hated cats at the time,

Thoughtfulness

The Quiet Girl- Thoughtfulness   Artist: The Quiet Girl Song: Thoughtfulness Album: Sample Studio Recording "Reflections"          I have 2 studio recordings I have made now, as I wrote earlier. This is one of them. This is an original song I wrote called "Thoughtfulness", written for the hammered dulcimer and played by me. I am learning to use the studio well and it took forever for me to learn how to edit and export music, but I know these things well now. I am getting better and better at it, and I am better at it even now than I was when I made this recording, which was only about a month ago.    Recording in a studio is different from performing. Of course, you always have to practice to sound as good as possible, like if you were to perform in front of an audience. But when you are recording, if you make a mistake and it takes you 10 tries to get a part right, after you are done recording, you can keep the 10th try where you got it rig
