I'm sure you've heard the fable about the grasshopper and the ant. The ant is industrious all summer, storing up food for the winter, while the grasshopper spends his time playing, relaxing, and playing music. However, when the winter comes, the grasshopper is cold and starving, and asks for the mercy of the ant colony to feed and shelter him.
I absolutely loved painting this. It was great fun to use bright colors and forced perspective, as well as having the opportunity to use my cartoon-style pen and watercolor. I even broke out the Dr. Martin dyes to boost the colors. I have this hanging on my bedroom wall right now.
