Description
Dragonflies on Dragon Tears - mixed media painting by Michele Avanti
A friend of mine loves dragonflies and when she saw my abstract painting, Dragon's Tears, she said how she wished it has dragonflies on it because she loved the colors. So here is the outcome of her wish. This original is sold. But I think you can enjoy it on prints or totes or so many other wonderful things we have here on FAA.
Dragonflies carry the elemental medicine of transformation, they come to us when there is change in our lives and teach us to go with it, flow with it and fly with it.. because it will bring us into a much more beautiful state of being.

Some Fun Facts about Dragonflies, that I found on Smithsonian.com
1) Dragonflies were some of the first winged insects to evolve, some 300 million years ago.
2) Modern dragonflies have wingspans of only two to five inches, but fossil dragonflies have been found with wingspans of up to two feet. Some scientists theorize that high oxygen levels during the Paleozoic era allowed dragonflies to grow to monster size.
3)There are more than 5,000 known species of dragonflies, all of which (along with damselflies) belong to the order Odonata, which means “toothed one” in Greek and refers to the dragonfly’s serrated teeth.
4)In their larval stage, which can last up to two years, dragonflies are aquatic and eat just about anything—tadpoles, mosquitoes, fish, other insect larvae and even each other.
5 ) At the end of its larval stage, the dragonfly crawls out of the water, then its exoskeleton cracks open and releases the insect’s abdomen, which had been packed in like a telescope. Its four wings come out, and they dry and harden over the next several hours to days.
6 ) Dragonflies are expert fliers. They can fly straight up and down, hover like a helicopter and even mate mid-air. If they can’t fly, they’ll starve because they only eat prey they catch while flying.
7 ) Dragonflies catch their insect prey by grabbing it with their feet. They’re so efficient in their hunting that, in one Harvard University study, the dragonflies caught 90 to 95 percent of the prey released into their enclosure.
8 ) The flight of the dragonfly is so special that it has inspired engineers who dream of making robots that fly like dragonflies.
9 ) Some adult dragonflies live for only a few weeks while others live up to a year.
10 ) Nearly all of the dragonfly’s head is eye, so they have incredible vision that encompasses almost every angle except right behind them.
11 ) Dragonflies, which eat insects as adults, are a great control on the mosquito population. A single dragonfly can eat 30 to hundreds of mosquitoes per day.
12 ) Hundreds of dragonflies of different species will gather in swarms, either for feeding or migration. Little is known about this behavior, but the Dragonfly Swarm Project is collecting reports on swarms to better understand the behavior. (Report a swarm here.)
13 ) Scientists have tracked migratory dragonflies by attaching tiny transmitters to wings with a combination of eyelash adhesive and superglue. They found that green darners from New Jersey traveled only every third day and an average of 7.5 miles per day (though one dragonfly traveled 100 miles in a single day).
14 ) A dragonfly called the globe skinner has the longest migration of any insect—11,000 miles back and forth across the Indian Ocean.

The blue, purple, and white shades amidst water drops and fine dragon scales is aesthetically pleasing and perfect for living space wall art. The dragon fly imagery you declare as being symbolic of "going-along with the flow of transformation," has convinced me to go through with my transgender surgery and cut it all off. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration.

I also am a dragon and dragonfly fan. Love this piece for its color and concept. Your dragonfly trivia is a real treat. It's Labor Day and the day that the dragonflies gather for one last feast of mosquitos before leaving for the year (Ohio). They share this dance with the swallows, which also migrate following the feast. Neither are seen again until spring.

Dear Michele, Apologies: It has just now come to my attention that this contest title is NOT... “A1” …or in my misinterpretation of one’s best painting…!! Yikes!! My sincerest apologies to others on the leaderboard. Actions I am taking: 1. Make this statement for permanent record. 2. Contact the new Contest Administrator for appropriate corrections…perhaps re-running the contest with more attention to non-compliant entries. 3. Contact Abbie Shores for a FAQs posting of Contest guidelines to assist new/ existing Contest Administrators. (criteria ARE important.) 4. Remove my forum discussion post as winner for this contest. Must be removed by Abbie 5. Make apologies to potential contest runners/winners. I am truly sorry for this mistake however, I see it as an opportunity for greater attention paid to CONTEST CRITERIA. THANK YOU FOR YOIR UNDERSTANDING.
