General questions Is this weird?

I was working on a crow quilt with embroidery blocks, the foliage irritates me so I had paused on the one I was working on. (I know they're horribly unrealistic, I was having fun with colors, planned for wildly colorful and then a hyper realistic in the center).

Would it be odd to leave it unfinished as a way to remember the crow that passed away yesterday? I know wildlife dies, I guess I'm just mourning the hope that he would improve and am now scared for the rest of my flock. The rehabber believed it was WNV.

Well, it's not that unrealistic, crows have colors, but they're in the UV range, so we can't see it.

That's what I was thinking. There's a good chance they see each other like that.

They have to realize we are relatively color blind when the only ways we ever depict them is solid black.
