Dragonfly: Blue Eyed Darner

Rhionaeschna multicolor

This dragonfly is common to the western United States. It can be found near slow moving bodies of water. I found this particular dragonfly in the middle of my street in autumn. I carefully scooped it up to save it from being squished and brought it home to paint it.

Each print is embellished with iridescent paint to make the wings shimmer
