Serpent Star 2

Description

Many months - nay, most of a year - after I finished the first Serpent Star, I found myself inspired to do another one. I saw that sky very early one morning on the way to work and had to get it into the painting. The Mayan motifs on the edges are from an incomplete stele. The Quetzlcoatl is mostly a green-winged macaw.

I actually painted this one on watercolor paper - IN WATERCOLOR! Imagine that! Then I did all the detailing with colored pencil. I added the acrylic sky last, as I encountered the effect several weeks after I'd started the painting and got myself stuck at that point.
