It's getting there. The problem with oil paint (or gift?) is that it's like butter. Easy to blend, but you need to let basic layers dry for a looooong time before you can add on to them. This is why my paintings take so long to complete. I love them but yeah. Long time to create. Getting to the snake next, the yellows should be dry soon. We'll get there.
