This skunk wanders along, sniffing at the world, while the busy buzzing bees go about their business. The soft air smells so good. The pollen and fragrant forest scents floats on the breeze, bringing with them a happy hive of activity as the critters start moving about. The skunk considers his next snack as he rustles along the forest floor, pondering the activity of the pollinators.
This piece was inspired by all of pollinators I spotted this summer and I had the urge to paint a skunk after a friend asked me if I had painted one yet. It is interesting to ponder what a bee might think of the stinky skunk, and what the slow skunk might think of the busy bee.
