Morning negotiations

A centaur wakes a lake dragon one still, foggy morning. He has a plan. Come closer. Listen.

15x20 watercolor and colored pencil. I'm still playing around with colors I'm not used to working in, and trying to achieve depth and realism in the painting. This is from an old pen and ink named "Fool's Quest" that I did in 2002. I've been wanting to paint it for a while now.

There's hardly any knotwork in this one at all. Just the tiniest smidge on his arm.
