Lou's Dragonfly

Lou's Dragonfly.
I was looking at the anatomy of dragonfly's for a while, I've always been fascinated by their delicate beauty and hypnotic electric colours and had it in mind to design one of my own. 
Then I see my good mate Lou had a personal encounter with one, he wrote this ....

"Breaks my heart when I see one of these majestic insects, after spending a year as an aquatic nymph, finally emerging on a fine July day to assume mastery of the skies only to have a wing deployment failure dooming it too a humiliating end by predation or starvation. I tried to help by re softening the wings with water and a brush but to no avail. Everything has to go just right."



This moved me but the accompanying inspired me. So, I decided to for it.
