Ali Chappell-Bates Art

This Hawker Dragonfly was originally drawn using black Indian ink. Dragonflies are prehistoric, having been around for millions of years.

I was particularly interested in drawing the wings which have a natural structure similar to the patterns found in dried rivers and cracked glaze. I drew the original picture using a twig dipped in Indian ink, which gives it a unique natural style.

Having a dragonfly land on your head is considered good luck!

The box frame measures 10x10 inches and can stand freely on a shelf or counter, or be hung using fittings included. The black frame sets off the dragonfly print perfectly.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my dragonfly illustration.
