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 is a cheeky Mr Magpie who used to hassle me for my lunch while I was painting a mural in a park (he didn’t get any). He was also very curious about the birds I was painting and would come and stare for ages while walk back and forth in front of them. 
 
This painting is 21 x 29.7 cm on 17 mm thick marine plywood covered in handmade paper full of gorgeous metallic paper bits. I used inks for the dots and and acrylics 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.
