I’m really not crazy about snakes, but they do come in so many colors that it was hard NOT to try. This one was a challenge but – believe it or not – it was actually fun!!

Not sure which type of coloured pencils you use (wax, watercolour, oil or pastel) but you manage to get some wonderfully bright paintings. Knowing you can’t get your subjects to pose like this, I greatly admire your design skills B. This has got to be make into a T-shirt.
I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.. suggestions??

This is awesome. Time consuming I bet.
Yes, it was time consuming but, because I was learning A LOT, it moved rather quickly.

It’s a mess…not really of course….it’s a fine piece of art.
Trying to keep all the various snakes lined up with eachother was a mess – at first.. but then it comes together..
