another couple of pastel efforts -
This is Don's in-situ sketch for 1mx1m head of dragon number TWO on floor of home workshop/studio; part of 25-30sqm actual mosaic (in 45sqm floor) - with all mosaic credit belonging to she-who-must-be-etc (Linda) (and some sweat belong Don).
Dragon in the making - Dragon #2 (Matilda)
Dragon No1 (Lucy) above - over 5metres long - in profile , with Pearl of Wisdom.
Dragon No 2 (Matilda - 3/4 view) left and below. Progress was slow - China's Great Wall was faster? (This is a job for people with 'patience' - 'patience': a mild form of despair, .. disguised as a minor virtue.)
... eventually all done!
.. And then you move house!!
(Goodbye, little dragons.)
