Dino --> Bird Transition Depiction



Hi All -

Does anyone know of a good (color) depiction of the transition from dinosaurs to birds? I'm thinking of something like the wonderful Mark Hallett painting showing a compsognathid like dinosaur chasing a dragonfly, then raising slightly feathered arms, then turning and having fully feathered arms and tail, then leaping off the ground as an _Archaeopteryx_-like animal, then ending the sequence as a blue jay...but preferably something more along the arboreal flight origins hypothesis. Any help is greatly appreciated!
