I browsed through some of my old Bug-a-Day stuff from 2016 looking for ideas, when I realized that my friend C never did send me a photo of the watercolor I made at her house (and left there). So I decided to recreate it as best I remember, resulting in the sloppy watercolor above (Two weeks in, and the creative challenge I've set for myself is already kicking my ass, meaning I'm having difficulty carving out the time to complete something because I feel like there are myriad other things I should be doing).
This is the original post:

"Open to Interpretation"
[Still waiting on C to send me the photo!]
I went to my friend C's house to paint away some anxiety. The result was a tiger beetle decapitating many ants in soothing watercolor.
C speculated the beetle represented the corporate machine and we are the ants being crushed in its mighty jaws, the flowers (rewards) always in sight but out of reach.
This is why I love art. What's this really about? I don't have a clue, but it's fun to imagine.
It remains in C's custody.

So I think I can assume that the photo is not coming after four years :)
