CARDINAL in a tree
entitled “Our
State Bird” evoked
an emotional
response from
one art enthusiast
attending a Starbuck show.
“There was a lady, she was in
tears,” he says. “She said native folk-lore
says when you see a cardinal,
it’s your ancestors coming back to
visit. She said, ‘I lost my mom six
months ago and every time I see
a cardinal I break down and think
of my mom.’ When you touch into
the heart and soul of someone
looking at the painting, that’s
when I know I’ve found a special
spot.”
