About the Artwork:
This breed of snapdragon is a little more literal and threatening than the common variety colourfully sprinkled in blooming gardens. This variation tends to flourish as it sprouts more heads soon dominating anything in its ravenous path and leaving a patch of scorched earth surrounding it. Here a heroic rhinoceros beetle has had enough and while mounted on his trusty companion he charges forth to confront this aggressor bullying the garden community.
