This drawing is very interesting. It is very simple but one slight detail about it makes it very unique. There is a simple room with a dresser, a window, and a heating vent. The window is open and the curtains are blowing in the wind. You can also very vaguely see the scenery that appears to be outside. There are what looks to be doves and vines on the wallpaper. The one thing that really catches my attention is that one of the doves wing is not on the wall, but it is three dimensional and coming off the wall.

                Doves appear in almost every place all over the world except for in very cold or very dry places. A pigeon and a Dove are synonyms. Doves are a seed eating animal. Doves are very fast and can reach a speed flying of 44 miles per hour. Doves have been used to deliver messages since the time of the Egyptians since they can find their way home exceptionally well. In the early 1800’s there was somewhere between 3 and 5 million passenger pigeons in the US alone. Dove hunting is popular in the United States, however it is illegal in some states. Pigeon milk is similar to the milk produced by mammals for their young. There are 11 species of Doves that are extinct. Two of them are the Dodo Bird and the Passenger Pigeon.  Doves drink water by sucking it through their beaks. This is unusual for birds to do. Doves can be sacred in some cultures, hunted, and raised for food in others. The white dove stands for an international symbol of peace. Some Pigeons have earned the name “flying rat.” There are many different species of the dove/pigeon. They have both positive and negative outlooks from people.
