Serpent Kids T-Shirt

Here in Norway (goes for Scandinavia too), we only have one venomous snake. The common European adder is extremely widespread and can be found throughout most of Western Europe and as far as East Asia. The colour varies from black to a sandy brown. On the black snake, you can’t see the characteristic zig-zag pattern it’s usually identified by. I used this snake as my reference for this painting and I chose to call it Serpent. It could be interpreted as an image of the Adder or as an image of the World Serpent (Jormungandr) from Norse mythology. That’s all in the eye of the beholder. The original painting is 70 × 90 cm and painted in acrylics and is available at https://lindaursin.net/product/serpent/
