Red Crystal Crater Lake Dragon mixed media painting by Michele Avanti

Here is the second in my series of crystal dragons. This Red Dragon was seeded in a meteor that crashed into the earth millions of years ago at place we now call Crater Lake, Oregon. This dragon soars in daylight and the scales on its back form into crystals, great red and orange crystals. These are energy crystals that activate the solar plexus in man and add energy to whatever they touch. When the dragon descends back into the lake, the crystals slide off in the water.

This is a picture and short introduction from Michele Avanti's, For The Love of Dragons, copyright 2015, Michele Avanti

Painting created through a mixed media process combining hand art, digital art and one of my original photographs of Crater Lake, Oregon.

Crater Lake is a caldera lake in the western United States, located in south-central Oregon. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and is famous for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a nearly 2,148-foot (655 m)-deep caldera that was formed around 7,700 (� 150) years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. There are no rivers flowing into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years. At 1,943 feet (592 m), the lake is the deepest in the United States, and the seventh or ninth deepest in the world, depending on whether average or maximum depth is measured.

Crater Lake is also known for the "Old Man of the Lake", a full-sized tree which is now a stump that has been bobbing vertically in the lake for over a century. The low temperature of the water has slowed the decomposition of the wood, hence the longevity of the bobbing tree.

Two islands are in Crater Lake; Wizard Island formed from a cinder cone that erupted after Crater Lake began to fill with water, and the smaller Phantom Ship has seven different trees living on it. There are also colonies of violet green swallows and several varieties of wildflowers and lichens living there.
While having no indigenous fish population, the lake was stocked from 1888 to 1941 with a variety of fish. Several species have formed self-sustaining populations. Since 2002, one of the state's regular-issue license plate designs has featured Crater Lake. The commemorative Oregon State Quarter, which was released by the United States Mint in 2005, features an image of Crater Lake on its reverse.
