This illustration is for "A Mermaid's Brother," the tale of a little boy who thinks he'd like to be a different animal so his brother would treat him better.

This picture of a dragon is the final illustration for the book. It is a friendly dragon. See the smile. I think the boy has decided that his brother is pretty cool. Notice that he's no longer making his brother bow like he did the first time.

I made this illustration first with pencil and then with watercolor paints, a black marker, and a little computer enhancement so the colors would shine.

If you click on the picture, it will take you to the story where you can read what happens to the little boy and see all the other pictures, as well.

Or, you can use the bitem to get you there, too.
