Magpie pair in a cherry tree. Originally entitled "what's mine is yours" and oil on canvas. This painting is about the mated magpie pair that returns every spring to decimate my neighbors cherries.

I've not painted a wildlife illustration for a while, so I thought I would revisit birds as a theme and maybe build a calendar around them. I chose a magpie to paint because recently when I had the opportunity to observe one more closely I saw that their feathers are full of vibrant colours beneath what is seen as a black and white bird. I wanted to put emphasis on the colours of blues and purples in this piece and reach a high saturation without it looking too false. The background was a last minute addition, originally I intended on leaving it blank, but it looked too empty and simple so I added the coloured splatter which has helped tie the piece together.

The black-billed magpie is an exotic looking member of the corvidae family – related to jays and crows. They’re smart, opportunistic, and fascinating to watch! This is a little charcoal, pastel and coloured pencil drawing I did of one.

One of my Inktober drawings was of a magpie who shows up at work pretty regularly, so I've named it Billie

A magpie can be happy or sad: sometimes so happy that he sits on a high, high gum tree and rolls the sunrise around in his throat like beads of pink sunlight; and sometimes so sad that you would expect the tears to drip off his beak.

I really like Magpies. I bet you do if you're looking at this.

Pretty, singing, swooping friends.
