Green Zen Dragonfly

~

This painting was painted 24 Karat gold paint and then made to look antique. The vines were treated in copper leaf, and the dragonfly treated in 18 karat gold leaf.

~

A six step process was used to create this 3D painting. It is painted on a standard playing card as cards work best with the 3D painting process.

Dragonflies are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness. The color green represents luck! =)

Both the Chinese and Japanese view butterflies as symbols of happiness and joy. The cherry blossom symbolizes feminine beauty in China and are believed to exemplify the transient nature of life, because of their short blooming times. Cherry Blossom (Sakura in Japanese) are omens of good fortune, emblems of love and affection, and represent spring time.
