This dragonfly painting was inspired by the patterns of ripples set up by
the rock on a wonderfully sunny day in August. I'd actually gone to Cannop Brook in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, looking for Beautiful Demoiselle damselflies but I thought this Golden-ringed Dragonfly with its lovely striped body echoed the ripples and would work much better in the painting.

Dragonfly paintings offer a great opportunity to try out different wildlife painting techniques: the translucent wings of the dragonfly, different foliage textures, the movement of the stream and the blue sky and sunlight reflected in the water.

If you'd like to try painting dragonflies, the British Dragonfly Society website presents a wealth of information about dragonflies including identification, habitats, and the best places in Britain to see them
