Sometimes you daydream and see something you can’t unsee. This curved ladder into a beautiful Oak Tree has been haunting me for years. I finally painted it.

Both man and bird suffer from their interactions. The European Starling was brought over to American soil “in 1890, a drug manufacturer, who wanted every bird found in Shakespeare to live in America released 60 starlings in Central Park. After spending a few years nesting modestly under the eaves of the American Museum of Natural History, they went from a poetic fancy to a menacing majority; there are now upward of 200 million birds across North America, where they thrive at the expense of other cavity nesters like bluebirds and woodpeckers, eat an abundance of grain — as well as harmful insects — and occasionally bring down airplanes”¹
