Technique: Oil on canvas
Size: 11 x 14 inches (28cm x 35.5cm)

Number six in the series!

Some people have commented to me asking why the birds wouldn't be in flight trying to escape these disasters. Same reason why humans and other animals sometimes freeze up in the face of danger. Ever heard of the expression 'deer in the headlights'? Take the sinking of the Titanic as another example. There were many documented cases of people who didn't try to escape, but seemed to just seemed to freeze up, and refused to try and save themselves.

I'm not saying that my birds are goners though. No doubt they'll fly away to safety at the last second!
