In this heavy body acrylic painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon, a European Starling rests quietly among fresh spring buds as its winter plumage begins shifting toward the darker tones of summer. Layered brushwork and subtle colour variation bring attention to the transition taking place within both the bird and the season itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"429\" data-end=\"797\"\u003eEuropean Starlings are now among North America’s most numerous songbirds. They are known to be covered in white spots during winter, but interestingly take on a glossy dark plumage in summer.
