Description
"The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions."This morning he learns to fly. For fun and practice. Enjoy

This is a very beautifully-illustrated artwork you have drawn, Janice! 
I also like that you put in a young griffin, because I find it rather cute, as it is
(and by the way, I write stories about griffins because I love them a lot

i like this, as the life of ones offspring , is priceless. this touches one.
hmm yet , may i ask . as to why the foot there. is that of a dragon. and not a lion . .

Generally griffins are depicted with the front legs and feet of the bird and the back legs and feet of the lion. I was going to make her front feet lion feet, but decided on a mix instead. Cheers

Excellent portrayal. ^^
Is the adult griffin the father or mother of the young one, or some other adult that's caring for it?
