This is a diptych, two paintings created to be hung side by side. This is a painting of two magpies who visited us regularly for many years, often bringing their young ones to meet us. I noticed being up so close to them that their feathers had a beautiful shine of greens and blues amongst the black. Very smart and beautiful birds when you get to know them.
Elaine Hudson 33 artworks | 1 Sold Follow Contact Elaine I completed my BA in Fine Arts and Visual Culture through Curtin University. I began drawing cartoon characters as a child and went on to do work experience several times with cartoonists at the Brisbane Courier Mail and Sunday Sun newspapers. With this , I have developed a unique style that is both meaningful and playful. I specialise in painting portraits and still lifes, capturing the beauty in everyday objects that we often overlook. My work is a celebration of life and the small things that we take for granted with a popart/cartoon twist. I spent many years working in pen & ink which I learnt from the cartoonists but now I mostly enjoy working in colourful acrylics.
