IF Slither

Slithering snakes of hair. We all know in Greek mythology Medusa was the beautiful monster who turned onlookers into stone. I find her perfect for the topic SLITHER and I always wanted to paint her so this will be my sketch for a future painting  :)

    Hello Ivy! Aah, the classic Medusa, but of course... It's amazing how she remains the number one icon for snake related themes, isn't it? Well, you have captured her divinely! The blaze of her eyes looks absolutely scorching. :)

    What a great interpretation of slithering things. A spooky kind of scary image! I love it!
    There's nothing more slithery than snake hair.

    And thanks for visiting my blog. Much appreciated!
