In Memoriam-Bird Study

Pigeon in memoriam
Comments

Nicely drawn picture 👍

A sad occasion Andrew but a well drawn study.

Sad but very lovely drawing.

So well drawn. I agree with what you said about colours in your description. It's easy to take these things for granted.

Well captured Andrew.

A beautiful sensitive drawing Andrew. It’s such a shame when they become casualties of our windows.

Thank you all for the kind comments, I appreciate the feedback, and all positive responses you've left this year!

Beautiful drawing and lovely colour. Shame under these circumstances….

Thank you Carole.

That's a very lovely drawing Andrew, and I had the same thing happen two days ago - where there's a ghostly, but fascinating print left behind on the window. In my case fortunately the pigeon survived.

Thank you Hilary. We get bird strikes a couple of times a year, but this is the only one that has proved fatal. I’ve been told I was ghoulish to do this drawing, but I feel I’ve kind of immortalised the poor thing. I will have to invest in something to deter the pigeons as I never get the problem with smaller birds.

Coloured pencil drawing of a pigeon that sadly collided with my kitchen window and ended up on the patio stones. I was amazed at the variety of colours to be found in such an ordinary looking bird. A3 on 135g paper.
