'Sparrow'
Watercolour and gouache on paper.
I present the first revealed finished illustration for my Cock Robin series.
Who killed Cock Robin?
Trickster? Fool? Murderer?
Leaves stain red, fungus creeps,
Mist haunts the hedgerow still.
The year falls; a crumpled heap,
To see a cruel hand raised to kill,
And send so fast to final sleep;
Cock Robin...
The warmest heart grows chill.
