Snake — ‘Viper’

1.6 metres (width) x 2.3 metres (height) x 9cm (depth)
62 inches (width) x 90 inches (height) x 3.5 inches (depth)

This viper is from a particular family of snake who poison their prey through biting them with their hollow fangs, and injecting venom. My depiction of an exquisite golden viper — sly and cunning, yet beautiful, almost  ready to strike, in striking golds, coppers and bronze.
