Balinese Symphony, Original Oil Painting on Linen Canvas.

Jalak Bali Starlings are beautiful to look at and listen to. Found only in a small arid area of the tropical Island of Bali, it’s only source of water comes from dew gathered  on flowers and leaves. This is a very endangered bird as it is illegally taken from the wild for it’s tuneful voice, only to be caged for someones enjoyment. Very few now remain in their natural habitat.

I paint as a bird sings – Claude Monet

Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers, and never succeeding – Marc Chagal
