Earlier this summer my nesting box was visited by a large snake.
The poor little wrens were so agitated and distraught.
They were no match for such a foe.
We tried to help them but it was too late.
The incident inspired the painting.

Thank you all so very much! I hope the wrens will come back again next year. they are so sweet. So chirpy.
it's beautiful...
thanks hannah!
I'm not a huge fan of snakes particularly but you have made this one so lovely!Even if it's intent wrapped around those eggs may be questionable you have captured the essence of "snake" in such a delicate manner. You are a daily inspiration! Thank you for being such a generous artist!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for your kind note!
This is favorite! Snakes are a big part of my life since my husband is a herpetologist and I love this one!
Thank you Allison! Boy, you both have amazing jobs!

A truly beautiful painting, Holly!!
I really liked your first pair of snakes, but I absolutely love this one!
