Mamba

(16" x 20") - Acrylic Fluid Paint on Canvas

The Mamba Rollercoaster in Kansas City, Missouri is as fierce looking as its name sounds.  Nothing like a deadly snake says strap into a rocket with wheels and do a little astronaut training.  Which I refuse to do, much less pay for, even though I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid.  Perhaps my distaste for snakes and pulling G's came out in this fluid painting like some Freudian fear cocktail.  It has a churning, rolling quality about it that I'm sure adrenaline junkies will appreciate.  And if you look at it long enough, some of you, like me, will see a giant snake with its mouth open.
