This is continuation of the making process of Neverland Portrait painting “Dragon” (that’s a shortened work title) of sisters Evija (age 8) and Adele (age 6). You can read the fairy tale created by the girls as well as the back-story in this blog post.

In order to convey the dragon in original way, I did some research online on my favourite artists depicting this subject matter. Most of them are from 20^th century or Modernism era only because I didn’t find particularly original examples when I googled ‘dragon contemporary painting’.

I found many artworks resembling dragons by Leonora Carrington (1917-2011). She is considered a Surrealist, though her style is substantially different from how typical Surrealism artworks look like. That is likely because most of her creative years she lived in Mexico in isolation from other influential artists of that movement.
