Title: Magpie’s Aura (2020)

Medium: acrylic on canvas

Size: 18” x 24”; commissioned. This is part of a private collection

I painted this after receiving a special request to depict a magpie in flight. The fantastic thing about this bird is that its plumage changes with the light. The challenge for me was to create a painting that could depict the effect of the iridescent feathers.
