I recently saved this beautiful dragonfly from my pool. It sat in my hand for about 45 minutes, grooming and fluttering it’s wings, attempting to regain its composure after it’s soggy experience. It was such a magical moment for me as I absolutely love these insects and, you guessed it, I love to PAINT them as well.

I had the opportunity, as it sat on my hand (as you can see in the picture above and to your right), to study the intricate patterns on its body, it’s movements — especially its head movements as it can rotate its head almost 360 degrees (something I wouldn’t have believed had I not seen it with my own two eyes!) — and how calm and happy it was to sit in my hand.

Even if it was all in my head, I felt we really bonded.

If you want to see the footage my hubby took, you can watch that HERE (or click on the picture to your right). I also show, in this short video, some of the dragonfly paintings I’ve created recently.
