Beggars and Bullies..............Sold
These Australian Magpies gather along our verandah railing hoping and begging that we'll feed them. I try to resist since they can become very cheeky and are likely to come into the house. We have a lot of bird habitat on the island but very, very occasionally if it has been raining for a long period I do feed them. They are very picturesque and I intend doing another of them with the second bird warbling. They also have a beautiful voice.Postscript: This painting was awarded third prize in its section at the Ekka. I was pleased.
Gorgeous Ellen, absolutely gorgeous!

DeleteI saw this painting at the show, but alas I was too late - already sold. I love the composition.
