One of my entries for the April 2012 Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC), the theme being 'Reptiles', is an original acrylic painting on vellum, mounted permanently onto a round, 5" diameter piece of wood.

Ah, 'Reptiles'. I must confess I wasn't so terribly enthusiastic about this month's theme at first. Not that I have anything against critters of reptilian nature, but I guess coming up with an appealing concept featuring our cold blooded friends was leaving me... Well? Cold! That is, until the idea of Medusa sprang to mind while contemplating 'snakes'. Finally, an idea I could really sink my teeth into! (so to speak ;-)...

My Medusa is both beautiful as well as terrifying, with her snake-y locks and icy gaze capable of turning a man to stone....
