Merauke Green Tree Python

Oil on Canvas  76cm x 102cm

Look away if you are afraid of snakes.  I first got into snakes when my son had a Corn Snake as a child and later, a Ball Python who had a nervous breakdown.   Suffice to say that treating a snake with a nervous breakdown takes time and care and I realised how beautiful they are.   I painted a number of snakes following that experience and this is a Merauke Green Tree Python that was in a pet shop in Chepstow.   It was only tiny and I had an image of what it would be like much bigger.  This is the result.
