I saw this beautiful dancing magpie in our garden and it was not shy at all posing for the camera. We often have them visit and they are pretty friendly. I just had to paint this one that enjoyed taking the spotlight. It reminds me of the song 'it's just a jump to the left and then a step to the right' lol I added some ladybirds to dance along with her and a few pretty daisies to brighten up her grass stage. Hope she brightens up your day! Painted on a 30 x 40 cm canvas and sprayed with a mat varnish for protection.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Painting a diverse range of art from my Blue Mountains Studio and Gallery, I draw inspiration from the stunning surroundings and its abundance of flora and fauna. My aim is to inspire and bring joy to others, taking the ordinary and enhancing detail, light and form.
My animals are expressive and quirky at times and my landscapes evoke a sense of tranquility with delicate, layered brushwork, they lend a sense of vitality and depth.
Beginning my art journey in 2008, I experimented with watercolors that became a channel for expressing my emotions, leaning towards light in the darkness. I soon became a prolific painter using different mediums and creating a variety of art to suit a wide audience. Over time the dream of owning my own home gallery became a reality in 2012 and I'm still enjoying selling to many art lovers.
I participate actively in a wide range of group exhibitions, and hold solo shows when time allows. I'm honored to have gained a number of awards over the years, winning the prestigious Rose Lindsay Art Prize at Blue Mountains ArtFest and took First Prize at BMCAN's NSW Parliament House Exhibition for 'Winter in the Blue Mountains'. I'm delighted that many of my paintings continue to be held in private and public collections worldwide, along with commissioned art products.
Thank you very much for taking the time to view my art.
Best wishes
Linda
