Piece description from the artist
An imagined scene wherein Smokey the Bear has gone rampant, eaten a tourist (her hat floats away), set fire to the woods and is enjoying a smoke. The committee on fire safety is arriving via plane to see about all this. The flaming brush has a skull on it. It's a "Brush with Death," after all. The gold "5" on the brush is an homage to a famous painting, "I saw the No. 5 in Gold."
