Portrait format watercolour of a small pod which coils snake or dragon like around forming a spiral. This is a companion piece to Medicago II. This form is set in the centre of the picture plane against a moody dark background.

From the artist
My fascination with this tiny Medicago pod which has spikes protruding from its surface much as some caterpillars do, is that it so resembles images of dragons as depicted in many Eastern traditions.
