Description
“Half-Shadow” by Laureen Marchand shows a brown thrasher and flower vase in an imagined landscape, perhaps seen from the inside of a wall. In this climate change art oil painting, does the bird dream about a wilder life?
Finding a brown thrasher in in the real world can be mysterious because this boldly patterned bird can stay quite hidden. But when you do glimpse him, maybe it’s because you hear him singing first. He’s an exuberant vocalist, with one of the largest repertoires going, and a brilliant mimic with a song list of more than 1,100 tunes. The brown thrasher tells you that when you’re ready for a wilder life, it will be ready for you.
