Another exquisite rendering done by the lovely Natoli of  DragonLovers, the original piece is here (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/37774392/ ), so if you have any comments about the style, skill, etc. please leave them directly with the artist herself


Time certainly does fly! It’s been a while since we had a family piece done by Natoli, over 4 years it would seem. That was a wonderful fall picture with Shato sporting a baby-belly bump (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/22224601/ for reference). Well in the intervening time, that belly bump turned into a baby - Baby Rayne to be precise! While he has been seen here once before, it was a black and white sketch, so this marks his introduction in full colour!


Due to his name being a homophone (had to look that up) with “rain”, he gets gently teased and associated with the weather at times, but it’s all good - he happens to like the rain, just like Shato! We all know that spring showers bring on a lovely bloom, so here we have Rayne reaping the benefits of the spring rain, and all the colourful life that comes as a result.


A couple of factoids - this marks the last of the complete set of seasons, as mentioned in the previous piece, and makes the capstone in a lovely display we have hanging out in the living room. Also, the location is a favored spot that might be familiar from another set of images we had done (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16697310/ ) - purrhaps was the very sight that involved ‘the making of’ the little hatchling that’s enjoying the local now?


Finally, a big thank you to Natoli for your exceptional work, in this and all the other seasonal pieces that make up our quartet. They are a lovely centerpiece to our cozy little home and are remarked upon by everyone who sees them!
