Bourbon Crested Starling, after a painting by E. deMaes and subsequent chromolithograph from J. Fraipont's Collections Zoologiques du Baron Edmund de Selys Longchamp-Oiseaux (1910).
This nearly tame bird, likely a variety of starling, lived until the mid-nineteenth century on the Mascarene island of Bourbon, now called Re'union. Native Islanders told the last known naturalists to have seen this huppe, as they called it, that the twelve inch bird was so trusting it could be knocked from branches with sticks. Whether this was for food, sport, or plumage remains unclear, but it certainly led to their demise.
The last one seen was shot in 1835. (Fregilupus various).

I paint in oils, have since I was twelve, nearly fifty years ago. My output has ebbed and flowed over the decades, as have my interests changed to and from landscapes and abstractions, portraiture and flowers. Animals have grabbed my attention since the beginning of the pandemic, birds in particular, because their beauty in both color and shape exist in innocence; they know not how lovely they are.

Douglas Black (1961 – ), painter, born in Glasgow, this artist spent most of his early life in Detroit where his formal education was in architecture. He studied watercolor rendering technique under acclaimed artist Roy Strickfaden, and oils and gauche under the modernist Harold Linton. 

Currently living in Chicago, Douglas has a neo-classical style of oil on canvas, as well as pen and ink illustrations for historical fiction author Duke Pierce Reade. 

His signature is simply Douglas along with the hyphenated two digit year of production. Douglas’s paintings are valued in the hundreds to low-thousands and are held in several private collections.

Shows have included community art fairs, gallery inclusions, and special events hosted in mansions and medieval styled halls.
