Recent development of the canvas, which has spent much of the last two years in storage. [Following pics click to enlarge in new tab or window.]
In order to reinspire myself, I made extreme changes to the background and the frogs, so that I could see the piece anew.
Modifying the sun in random ways kept the piece moving, even if it did not yet suggest a resolution.
While listenening to several science podcasts in the last two weeks, I repeatedly heard about the recently described, extinct giant snake, Titanoboa (Wikipedia link); the largest snake ever. It was 50 feet long and over a ton in weight! This mindboggling constrictor lived about seven million years after the dinosaurs disappeared. I imagine that it was a mammal eater and would have considered me a choice snack. Needless to say, it made an impression on me and changed the piece.
I have been waiting a long time to excavate and reestablish the musical notes of the composition; added a few new ones. Added reticulation pattern to the snake's back.
Current incarnation of Three Tenors;
Three Tenors of Frog Creek and Sun-Snake, at Dusk.
