Illustration Friday: Crunchy
Dr. Frederick Flatbottom beat
Bedbugs in Borneo
Malaria in Madagascar
Influenza in Indonesia
The Gout in Guam
Dysentery in Denmark
Whooping Cough in Washington
and Tetanus in Thailand
But it was an Anaconda in the Amazon
That finally took his life.
I have to say that I just don't get watercolors. Me thinks an intro to watercolors course is in my immediate future.

What a fun poem--and illustration. His expression is fabulous, and it FEELS like he's getting squeezed.
As far as watercolors go, this is not an unpleasing painting, but yes, there is a lot to be learned about it.
Lol! I loved this!
Thank you you two. I have to admit it is one of my weakest mediums. I appreciate the support and encouragement.
Well, I'm rather unedumacated in the ways of painting and illustrating, but I wouldn't know this was to be considered weak unless ya said so.
I agree with Coreopsis too...great anaconda squeeze, batman! :)
Nicely done, Kirk. I could only think of 'Sciatica in Sacramento'Not so good. really enjoy seeing you back in the blocks, though.

Considering your feelings on snakes..I love the drawing and your effort to apply your feelings in watercolors, which I know you also dislike.
Fear can block efforts to improve abilities, that one considers a short-coming in one's life, but this drawing shows your fears groundless.
Look at the texture of the ground, you nailed it. The power of the coiled snake, the fear, the pressure all come together..great job.
Thanks Papa.
