Why is the snake done in acrylic?

I remeber this one from the art trade also. The colors in this one are just so nice. I just love the blue. The vestige looks very ceremonial, to me, like a priestess perhaps. The hand positions emphasize it also, reminiscent of some of the "classic" Emperor and other tarot images.

Nice pendant too!

Likes reptiles does she? ;)

Beautiful fine work. The static pose and fixed gaze remind one of a Byzantine icon.

Yay, I'm glad you put this one up. She's so pretty!

i know what you mean, the economy sucks...
the snake's in acrylic because it's one of the few things that are more difficult to paint in oils...trust me on that

many thanks!:)
acrylic is faster and easier for reptiles than oil...multifaceted, irridescent things of many color that they are...i like doing flesh/drapery in oil better though...this painting gave me the best of both worlds.
