Ok, disclaimer here. This is a bird one of the campus cats Killed, which I took pictures of for reference. I caused this bird zero pain. It was dead when I got there, and yes mom. I washed my hands afterwards. My paint study of the little guy is somewhere. I will post it when I find it.

This is about the position I found it in. Birds are terribly tragic little creatures. They are so beautiful and full of life, but so delicate.

I pinned the wing down so I could draw the underside. You can see where the cat got him here.

Spread Eagle.

Poor thing. At least he got his portrait made in two mediums before he was forgotten.
