Rain's Story for my Dragon Series

Rain and I at the /clothesline sale Saturday, August 4th.
A few days before I thought my dragon series would not develop into a story, when Rain came up with one. Rain's blog is http://rainydaythought.blogspot.com/ I think the fusion of our talents is much fun: Thank you Internet!!!

Finding a dragon brings good luck. Don't the legends say so? 'Not that it matters since dragons are rare. Who told you that silly woman.
Dragons are everywhere when you know where to look.'
He pointed his long bony finger to show her the way.

There is one in the clouds. Another plays on the edge of the surf. Isn't he golden one
The old sage laughed. "Dragons rare? Who told you that silly woman? Dragons are everywhere when you know where to look.
He pointed his long pointy finger to show the way. Isn't that golden red one
There is one in the clouds. Another plays on the edge of the surf.
Isn't that one a beauty teasing you from the rock.?'

'I don't see any,' she cried with disappointment.
Perhaps dragons were only for special people, she thought sadly.
The everyday woman simply aren't meant to see those magical creatures.
'Nonsense, 'the old sage snapped, reading her doubting mind,
frightening her a bit more than a little.

"More patiently,' the sage went on, 'you are going too fast. Stop to look.
You are expecting something hard, something out of your reach.
They are like your luck. They are really right there in front of your eyes.'
It was then that she saw one, then another, and realized the truth --
she was no longer afraid to look.

Hi Diane, it is good to be back! Although the transition back into painting is sometimes hard:) I love your dragon series and Rain's wonderful story fits perfectly with it. Stay strong, it's not a matter of your work (or pricing) it's just that the right people havent' found them yet. A restaraunteer really could run with these in the right place. I would love to dine among the beauty and magic of these dragons!! ~Heidi
