A Snake for Voting Rights

Rummaging around for more work to finish I came across a third painted snake that had not been sewn up.  This one was the voting rights snake. 

This one, like all the rest,  was originally intended to be stuffed and rounded out so that he could carried around at rallies.  Even though they are not likely to be paraded around live any longer, I still leave a two foot long hole in the center of the body that is sealed with velcro.   Who knows if they might be stuffed animals again one day? 

The voting rights snake  uses a square block print with a repeat design, embellished with small round stamps This particular snake seems like an appropriate one for such a pivotal election year.

18 feet.  Acrylic paint on sized muslin.
