Day 2 of the great eight week countdown.
Last summer I collected two squashed and sundried fledglings that I found by the side of the road.
It was the first one with its mouth open in a silent scream that hooked me. I did a charcoal and rubber drawing of it and thought I would begin a series on dictators………..
The second bird I found has been sitting wrapped in tissue waiting for my attentions.
Today was the day – I worked on it to make a pair to be framed up together.
Always difficult when you try to re-visit something.
Its not as strong a work as the first, but together they are a stronger work than just the one.
Framing will be expensive – quite a big work. I am begining to be concerned about framing costs now……….
