Description
The sixth dragon in the Birthstone Dragon SAL: www.etsy.com/listing/498195209…
It's been bugging me that I haven't worked on these guys for a few months (already 3 dragons behind!), so I sat down the last three days and just busted this little guy out. Whew! It felt good!
The month of June has both Pearl and Alexandrite as birthstones, so the designer had put out two color combos for each stone. My daughter picked the Alexandrite because it encompassed most of her favorite colors. I had really wanted to do the pearl (you can see it on the Etsy page if you click the link above) because it was a more sedate color combo and I thought it gave balance to all the dragons hanging out together.
But, of course, Alexandrite it was.
He actually didn't come out too bad with the other dragons - I thought he would be darker and, therefore, more obnoxious. So, fairly happy with it and excited my next dragon will be July (he's a real cutie!). But, alas, I will be rotating back to a few other projects first. We'll see how quickly I get to the next dragon!

Hi Gayle! I just wanted to let you know that I've featured your work once again, this time in a post called June Birthstone Dragons by Various Artists on my dragon artwork blog (with proper attribution and links back, of course, including to the original designer). This guy was so cute, I gave him top billing this month! As always, you can find me at Writing Dragons, and this feature here. Keep up the great work!
