Elaphe Carinata #1.5 - Original Watercolor

Elaphe Carinata #1.5 — Original Watercolor

Original watercolor on canvas | 12" × 12" | Unframed

Between studies, a moment of pure observation. Elaphe carinata #1.5 is an interstitial work in the Reptile Series — a focused exploration of the Chinese king ratsnake that sits between the first and second numbered entries. Where the numbered pieces chart the arc of the series, this work captures a quieter, more intimate look at the subject: the texture of keeled scales, the coil of a powerful body, the stillness before movement.

Painted in watercolor on canvas, this 12" × 12" piece carries the luminous, fluid quality that defines the series — a medium that rewards close looking and rewards the eye with depth and subtlety.
