This warm, textured painting features an Australian magpie perched in the branches of a coastal banksia tree, with a few sprigs of wattle. Set against a soft, warm yellow background, the scene has a calm, sunlit feel—like a quiet afternoon in the bush.
Painted in a loose, expressive style with a palette knife and thick, impasto brushstrokes and artwork has loads of texture and movement. The colours are earthy and warm, and the painterly style brings a sense of life and spontaneity to the piece.
