I love painting Australian Magpies; this piece is inspired by a magnificent flame tree that blooms in December in Lennox Street, in Sydney's Newtown. I really enjoy adding pattern and detail to my paintings with fine brush strokes, and the feathers on this Magpie are extremely intricate and delicate. The vibrant colours of black, indigo and scarlett/bright orange/red are sublime.
I use premium quality light fast gouache paints and professional watercolour paper. I recommend professional framing using archival matt board and glass to protect your investment for many years to come.
