Magpie Charm Ed. 3 of 6

My linocut print captures the beauty and stoic image of our Australian magpie. I admire magpies so much because of their distinct character and colouring. The rich black and white feathers design is so unique to each magpie bird.
Linocut is a complicated process involving various tools and much dexterity and accuracy to make a design on the lino. Then there is the inking process which is done with a special roller. A special press is required to print the linocut artwork, as well.
My magpie print will look perfect in a study, bedroom or hallway. A child, teenager or adult will put a smile on their face every time they walk passed it. It projects strength, steadiness and vitality. An Australian favourite bird.

When her mum became ill with breast cancer, Patricia began making doodles to make her mum laugh again. After her mum passed, Patrica then cultivated her newly found talent in watercolour and pencil portraits and abstract art, containing an intricate array of geometric shapes, doodles, squiggles, and distinct lines. Also, she has a flair for creating a story within the animals, faces, birds, and flowers she draws.
