This one is titled "Relocation" and depicts an ant carrying a pupa as the nest is relocated. I was in the park taking photos when I stumbled across a trail of ants re-locating their nest. I decided to stick around for a while and take some photos of the process (you can get a feeling for this in the second short Youtube clip). It was tricky to get good photos of such small organisms, moving so quickly, but there were few shots I liked that inspired me to do the painting. I used the same process of a detailed line drawing, outlining the image with inks, and then going in afterwards with watercolour to give it shape.
