Well Holly you've done it again. These images are truly transfixing. I must admit snakes are my all-time worst nightmare but I will say that the skin-patterns have always fascinated me and you've captured this so well. I hope that they slink and slither away from your birdies and mice sooner rather than later though. x Feliciyt
And only a few weeks ago while at the park I saw a huge gopher snake with a yellow and brown pattern. It was right by the creek and then as it slithered away into the bushes I came up upon a little injured mouse not but a few steps away. Your painting so reminded me of this moment because I think I may have interupted the snake on the way to his dinner.
Such is life but absolutely great images Golly! My garden patio often has a row of 'sleeping' rodents left for me in the morning courtesy of the feline lodgers :(

Thank you RosaMaria! they scare me, but they are beautiful in their own way.
Felicity, I was heartbroken for my little wrens when a snake got into their nesting box. It was tragic.
Hi Holly,
These are utterly and fascinatingly beautiful.

I appreciate the fact that your artwork explores the complete "circle of life." Nature has to make sacrifices to continue.
your snakes are fantastic!
Have a great week.

Thank you all for stopping by! I truly enjoy reading your comments and anecdotes. Have a wonderful day!
These are lovely, Holly, and yes, it's sometimes not fair, but that's nature for you...
So true, Mariann. Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely evening!
Holly, such splendid watercolors ! The beauty of nature, this little uroboros-like...
Cendrine, I hadn't consciously thought of an ouroboros symbol and yet it does have that circular, cyclical image of infinity and renewal.
