About this work

Two dead birds hang from a hook. One has feathers ruffled. The other looks smooth. Two big dogs stand guard nearby. Their eyes lock on the birds. This scene feels old-school. The dogs don’t move or bark. It’s like a snapshot from hunting days. The dark background makes the birds and dogs pop. Look up chiaroscuro next. It’s the trick of strong light and dark contrasts.
