Growing up, I enjoyed the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show. In the Road Runner Show, they love to mock the scientific Latin name for the coyote and road runner, flashing a humorous made-up name. For example, the coyote name in show is Wile E Coyote, real Latin name is Canis latrans. However they will flash like “Carnivorous Vulgaris” or “Carnivorous Slobbuis.” I played on this idea here with the title of the painting combining its Latin name a work to describe its beauty.
