Good Luck Dragon Painting

This painting is really big and has nice detail. It depicts a very traditional Chinese dragon and a pearl of lightning.

The actual title is "Xiang Long Xi Zhu", which means "(The) Good-Luck Dragon Plays (with a) Pearl/Ball (of lightning)". Chinese is a bit different than English (far less articles in grammar). So the words shown above in "()" are implied in the Chinese title, but we need them in English to make sense of it, when translated.

The title is written in bold characters on this painting, the rest of the Chinese characters include the artist's signature, and the year painted (in an ancient Chinese way, that means Spring of 2006).
