Last Soul to Arrive
A couple of weeks ago, our neighbours found a small bird in their yard who was injured and couldn't fly away from the three children who wanted to love her. She looked like a type of Waxwing, and really didn't seem to mind having her food and water brought to her feet for a change. It took two days for her to take off, but not before I went next door with my camera and shot about 100 pictures. She is the model for the perimeter of the birds in this painting.
