Description
PunkClown asked us to challenge ourselves with bugs! I always do what is asked;-) - so I dig my water colors out from the drawer, and started a fight against myself (and my skills)... partly I think I won, partly lost... But here it is! For the March theme of 2D forum.
Original size A3. Scanned in two pieces, and minor color corrections made in PhotoShop. Several reference photos used; partly however just my imagination. I hope this act doesn't hurt anybody's feelings;-)

You won! ; ) The sky & water are beautiful Titta, it doesn't look like you have lost your touch to me! Good job on the mating dragonflies too, not such an easy thing to portray.
Delightful and wonderful image, not sure about the biology however. Delightful.
How love can hit anybody's feelings? I hope I will die without an answer to this question... this is beautiful and beautifully made :-) I want to see some more of this kind
Beautiful Titta, I love the dawn coloring the sky and the water, and the mating couple is so well done, dragonflies are such gracious beings, that you have caught so well!
Oh Titta this is so cute!!! :) Those 2 lovely creatures embracing each other are fantastic!! U definitely win indeed my dear friend!! :D
Oh, so delicate watercolor! I really like your colors, subject, water, sky, all -- this is how watercolor should look!
Love your water colours Titta, not quite sure what these two are up to but they seem to be having fun. :0 )
You captured that early mornin g feeling so well. I like the loving but tranquil feeling of the whole composition. Very nice, Titta. :)
Such a nice atmosphere, and Ilove the subject. They look like they are experimenting a little! Should I say that? Lovely work Titta.
So gentle and softly expressed, you can feel the love radiating from this image :) Thanks for creating and sharing itHUGS
Eye See... Like the expression and the "hand" in the face. Naughty image though... Mating dragonflys in deed... Still. Nice one me thinks.
Congratulations on bringing out your watercolors. It's a very romantic scene. :)
