Gregory the Corn Snake

Gregory

5 x 7

Leif will be eight tomorrow and this is his birthday present. He requested it but will be surprised because he didn't think I was going to do it. Gregory is his sweet, 4 1/2 foot corn snake. We got her on Freecycle a year and a half ago.

Jeff shot the reference photo for this painting at Omega Institute in Rheinbeck, NY. I loved the photo and had to paint this. It sold at my first solo show, in April 2006.

Today I got a beautiful corn snake for my son from Freecycle. The snake is friendly and gorgeous and even came with a huge and well equipped cage. Leif is thrilled. Gregory will make a lovely subject for a watercolor.
