I have been working on a picture book for years about the history of starlings and how they became an invasive animal. Maybe I will finish the book someday...but for now the art can be appreciated in your home! This piece portrays the journey of starlings across the Atlantic. I could not resist adding a few little pinnipeds to the green water. The birds were taken by the dozen on ships across the sea and were left in Central Park to fend for themselves, and they really did well here in America.

This piece makes a nice pair with another starling print, after the birds arrived they all flocked in the eaves of the National History Museum in NYC https://www.etsy.com/listing/467554398
