This is a 5-inch by 7-inch watercolor piece done for the July 2024 Color in Focus: Cadmium Orange. This is based off of a post I made positing a new metaphor for burnout "you can't boil an empty kettle" which went viral. There are also stickers of this design available!

 

The original text this painting is based off of:

I have come up with a better metaphor than “you can’t pour from an empty cup” for burnout. You can’t boil an empty kettle. Pouring from an empty cup just gets you nowhere. Trying to boil an empty kettle can ruin the kettle, the stove, and burn down your house if you keep trying it.
