Intense! It is a bit scary, you’re right, but it’s a powerful emotion to evoke with a piece of art! I can’t get over the realism of this! How long did it take you to do? (Oh and by the way, I have held several snakes… of varying sizes…) ;-P

Powerful art! Great work!

eva,s pal?—- i love them but from a distance here i have run across ratters off and on but they are nice they =usually=? warn you they don,t like you either-

What can I say. It’s powerful. That’s just the best description.

Excellent work Dave! This would make a great etching.

Excellent work Dave!!! Your pen and ink works are always powerful and dramatic.

We have rattlesnakes here in Penticton, although I have not seen one since I moved here. I’m pretty happy about that too!!! In July a young lad was bitten by some kind of water snake. Apparently they go across Skaha Lake from time to time.

Great detail Dave. I just found some time to look at your work. Awesome!

Thanks sully47.

I realy like your snake. Very good shaddowing, it gives me Ideas.

When I was younger I owned a red tail Boa, Then I found out how big they get and that they eat pigs and rabbits, when they are 6 feet long. I could not keep it for I felt to gilty feeding it mice. Snakes are not slimy they are very smooth and are very gracefull. But if you have pets wash your hands, they have a very good sence of smell. Every snake has its own personality, just like any other animal. just remember some snakes bite at fast movement of the hands or feet.
