When i first saw this painting i was attracted to the colours and the movement and texture of the brushstrokes. As an animal lover i hated the subject and i kept looking at what was the head, ears and eye. After the drawing exercise i could see that the carcase had shapes in it that resembled bones and flesh. I found it frustrating drawing it with a pencil because i wanted to draw the movement and tone of the brushstrokes and i found i was drawing line and shape instead of tone and texture which is what i found interesting. I felt that the painting was much bigger than it is because of the freedom of the brushstrokes and when it was projected large on the wall it looked imposing which is what i would've thought was part of the artists intention with a controversial subject as dead meat. Or may be it was just something interesting for him to paint at the time to just enjoy the action of painting.
