Starbuck’s Paintings from Auction II

Besides being the top fighter jock of the Colonial Fleet, Starbuck also wields a wildly creative paintbrush. Most of her paintings first appeared in the Season Two episode “Valley of Darkness.” We start off with scene 83C which is an interior shot of Kara’s apartment on Caprica. In the scene Helo finds a stack of canvases leaning against one wall Starbuck’s apartment and begins to flip through them. Helo notices they are avant-garde, bizarre paintings. Starbuck’s paintings next appear in the Season Three episode “Maelstrom.” Right off the bat in scene 1 is once again a shot of the interior of Kara’s apartment. This time it is Kara’s dream sequence with Leoben where they get a bit frisky and end up splattering white paint all over everything, including themselves. Of note some of the paintings in the auction have white paint splatters on them from this scene. Kara’s paintings finally appear in the Season Four episode “Daybreak.” For those who are keen to notice items in the background, in scene 25 when Kara answers her door, right behind Kara’s head is her semiotic painting of the mandala (Lot 760 — Check it out here).

During most all of Kara’s flashback sequence when she first meets Lee, you are able to spot a majority of Kara’s painting on the wall. And for those who are wondering — sorry to say– No, Kara DID NOT paint any of the paintings. All of them were masterfully created by the Battlestar Galactica Paint Department. I know it is a shock, but remember it’s all make believe… or is it?
