New Piece and Other Tragedies

Did a piece for the Spring Show, but didn't have time to photograph the finished version. This is a photo of the central part of it. I think it is the last of the leaf motif paintings. That horse has been beaten. There is a border of deep red leaves around the finished work and it is raised on a wood frame. It makes the work look better, but this gives you the gist of it.

When I arrived at school this morning there were two freshly killed Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks lying on the ground. They had crashed into the library windows, which are quite large and would have been indistinguishable from the sky for these unfortunate migrants. Such delicate beauty.
