This painting describes the passion of all pacific islanders along side with all asian descents. I decided to represent the white dragon because it represents purity, wisdom and most of all brining out that inner power. I decided to do the waves a Japanese and Chinese style because I love the uniqueness it brings to the over all picture. I am also obsessed with ancient art within the asian culture and Polynesian culture. I use to be in a Polynesian group so it made me use the inspiration for the grass skirt and the movements that she is doing. I didn't want to do a traditional grass skirt , so instead I decided to use swirls as a way of describing motion. I also decided to use different flowers to play off the colors of the dragon and also to bring out a romance feel. I hope when women look at this , they can see themselves brining out that inner animal. I want every woman out here to be fierce and represent your culture with your head held up high.
