Are the flower and caterpillar really enormous, or are we really small???
While painting this I was thinking about addiction. I discuss with the caterpillar why it is that a flower, so beautiful and delicate, a miracle of nature with its sweet sappy milk has wreaked so much havoc in the lives of those I love. In the past 5 years or so, I have lost more friends to opiate overdose than this caterpillar has legs. “How can we change this?” I ask her.....
But she is a caterpillar; she doesn’t have answers.
