This is one of a pair of winged dragons by Henri Alfred Jacquemart on the Fontaine Saint-Michel in Paris. Not as cute and cuddly as the last dragon sculpture I posted!

How cute is this snoozing dragon? 🙂 I came across him (her?) last weekend while exploring my new neighbourhood. My plan was to get the ferry from Darling Point to Double Bay — an absurdly short 5-minute ride, but living on the harbour is a novelty and ferries have always been a treat, so why walk? I was delighted to find this wee dragon curled up beside a pond near the ferry wharf.
But, I was not sure the dragon, which is carved, qualified as a sculpture. All good, though: Subtractive sculpture involve removing material from a large piece to achieve a sculptural form. Woodcarving and stone carving are both examples of subtractive sculpture. (source)

June Roof: Here be Dragons
Dragon on a roof
Here’s a handsome devil! Well, dragon really, not devil. Peering down from his perch on a roof in … where? Looks Chinese, doesn’t he? Certainly not very Aussie, strewth! Yet I spotted him in Ettalong, north of Sydney.
