Rushdie, the Enchantress of Florence.... this painting is a gift to my grandmother aya on her 82nd birthday. finished a little bit ago its acrylic on canvas, you cant tell but the ochre colors are actually gold. its based on a painting by Chen Rong titled 'dragon in the clouds' and inspired by the movie flight of dragons.
