This is a 5"x 7" watercolor from 2009, started in 08 on a camping trip near the salt river in Arizona. My friend Jayson caught about seven scorpions that night and morning with his bare hands. I think he had like three different types of them in different cups and water bottles, it was crazy, and therefore, I put one one of them in a painting
I don't condone violence on any animals, especially vultures, but this one was needing to be eaten by this weather beaten drifter, and the scorpion caresses its feather tips and softly hums it a death song as it passes into the clearing beyond the bird's eye view.
