Cogitation 

Scott Fraser's "Cogitation" is a still life painting showcasing a bumblebee impaled on a pin atop a metal oil can. The bee appears suspended in mid-air, seemingly contemplating its situation. The background features a pale blue sky and a single white flower, further enhancing the sense of stillness and introspection. Fraser's meticulous detail and realistic style create a sense of both beauty and unease, inviting the viewer to contemplate the nature of life and death, and the fragility of existence.
