14 “ x 19” Watercolor and Ink
sketched at the American Natural History Museum at the Dragon exhibit the dragon slayer and the Griffon were full sized.
Later I invented a story to go with the sketch.
Stories, rich in fantasy?
What part is true
Stories doors to romance adventure and good stew.
Over the camp fire a heritage rich in experience to share with all of you.

Final copies were sent to the Natural History Museum business office as gifts. I received a letter basically saying that they have their own artists. It was pretty cold.

14 “ x 19 “ Watercolor and Ink master drawing
5’ x 4 ‘ Giclee with photoshop additions and some painting. Diane Shooster’s Office, Global Response Corporation.

Here is an invented dragon with a good temper. Riding the dragon is Cassidy and next to her holding the reins is Carly, my kids.

Carly wanted a friendly dragon. This one in the Giclee version has a special secret. The eye is mine! Through the magic of photoshop.

the story goes...
Dragon, good, they jump, u r very nice, u r really pretty
ur colors, let’s ride, I wish I could keep u 4 ever, goodness, dragonette, go fast!, friendly dragon, tossed salad,
and last hunter (my dog) exercising.

Original is Watercolor and ink 14” x 19” September 2007
The original is then processed through photoshop where the ghosting and lettering is added at the bottom and printed on a Roland FJ400 wide format printer.

The inspiration for this is a day at MoMA the MOdern Museum of Art in New York. At the museum hangs and painting by Matisse called “The dancers”
I drew a quick sketch of the painting and went home to invent the background as well as a story.

This painting is featured on the Sid Rosenberg show home page Oct. 2008
