Detail of Fire, acrylic on maple panel. Showing May 4th @talongallery This Black-backed woodpecker (Picoides arcticus), is one of the rarest birds in California, and lately it has become a symbol of a huge scientific and political debate over the future of controlling fire in American forests. This woodpecker specializes in foraging for insects after a fire, such as the larvae of the Banded Alder Borer (Rosalia funebris) and the Sculpted Pine Borer (Chalcophora angulicollis) featured in my painting.
