Dragons are often the featured motif on white porcelain and today I have gathered together some of my still life images that show dragons. These are Asian dragons and as such represent power and good fortune. Dragons were shown on the standards of the Chinese emperor. However the symbol of the dragon can be seen in many cultures, it features in the myths and legends of many people. It is thus very adaptable and in my post today I have shown dragons accompanied by many different Australian flowers.
