Once upon a time, there was a family of magpies who lived in a magical land of bright  colours, dreamy hills, bright warm sun and endless bugs and worms. They were inquisitive, confident and very cheeky. And they were forever ready to remind everyone to enjoy the little things and always stay curious, sing your heart out and remember to play. 

This little magpie is a gentle, wise and happy lady. She didn't mind posting for me and my camera, it's like she was wondering what I was up to. Painted with inks and the magpie is in oils.
 
This painting is 24. 5 x 24.5 cm on 17 mm thick marine plywood covered with a handmade sugarcane paper with the most yummy texture and warm glow. I used inks for the background and oils for the magpie. 
 
Signed on the back and front. 
Ready to hang with wire and 2 x D-ring hanging options fixed to the back. Sides and back have been painted white. Does not include frame shown in room views. 
Please note that this work is on recycled marine plywood and the back and edges have a slightly textured surface.
