Caution, Wet Paint

The last one.... I like the way the black picks up in the painting!

O.O
wow.
speechless.

and frame-wise, personally i like the first one. because of the coil-like pattern. it very much resembles a snake and i think makes it part of the painting.

:)

:O :O :O WOWI! That looks great! I like the first frame the most. Congrats on completion of that great painting!

Doug, love it and we will talk. :yes:

The first is my choice for frames.

Ive seen several paintings at craft shows not anywhere near that good sell for around 5-6 thousand atleast.

Thats simply amazing, my mom used to paint for an art gallery years ago, but hasnt painted in a long time (shes trying to get back into it) and im sure when I show her this thread she will be amazed and want to start again.:)

Absolutely beautiful. :love: :clap: You are extremely talented. Do you have any plans to do more snake paintings?

I'd also vote for the first frame. It makes the snake pop more, and draws my immediately to the snake not the frame.

Amazing! :)

Thanks for all the comments and compliments everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed seeing the progression from start to finish. It was fun...and definitely more challenging than I had expected! Thanks again...:)

I like the first frame the best.

amazing job

I disagree, Ed. While oils are traditionally used for masterpiece paintings, a true artist can create amazing works in any medium. I've seen a "true artist" do an awesome painting with a sheet of Strathmore, a sharpie marker and tattoo pigment. Some works are just better suited for charcoal, pastel, acrylic, watercolor etc. I agree though that most of the time you can't go wrong with oils.
