Anyone who has been swooped by crows will know the feeling. It took along time to get crisp linework but I am happy with the image in the end.

Caught this with my zoom. Noticed nature intertwined with man made landscape…parallel electricity wires. The fog helped to hide all other elements in the landscape. A few seconds later this fleeting moment was lost as the magpie took flight.

"Ah, my friend, you do not know, you do not know / What life is, you who hold it in your hands"; / (Slowly twisting the lilac stalks) / "You let it flow from you, you let it flow, / And youth is cruel, and has no remorse / And smiles at situations which it cannot see." / I smile, of course, / And go on drinking tea. (T.S. Eliot)

Amazingly there are 20 species of Magpie in the world. Not quite sure which I have painted here… looks more like an Australian magpie Many people consider them superstitious, they certainly have their place in folklore, some believe they bring good luck, others believe bad. I remember being played Rossini’s Thriving Magpie when I was quite young; it is said they have a panache for shiny, silvery things which they like to steal and hide. / Here the magpie has found a key! I wonder where it came from? I see him as a ‘Keeper of Secrets’. / The selected text comes from a traditional rhyme I was told as a child: One for sorrow, Two for joy, / Three for a girl, Four for a boy, / Five for Silver, Six for Gold / Seven for a secret never to be told This is an acrylic painting on canvas.

The listless sun deceived our farewell, / boats were leaving like flies, / birds puckered up like toothless mouths / and fell stiff and dead from the heavens. When I was alone under the yellow sky / where my eyes were ripping up rags, / I turned out my pockets / in the hope of finding an exile companion. There was nothing in them / nothing but dust from the roads, / nothing but roads of misery, / nothing but dead queens nailed to wooden beams. (René Daumal)

Acrylic on canvas / “Australian Magpies on red background” This work just seems to have the right elements of black red and white that almost everyone that sees it just loves it. / It wasn’t that important a painting to me (although i liked it and was happy with it) but once EVERYONE wanted one it kind of became my signature piece! / I liked that the magpies even though they are almost 2D in shape still held you captivated with their real looking eyes, the red background is brilliant and bright and the whole combination works a treat. / Magpies are cheeky creatures and such an everyday Australian sight that i think that has an appeal as well. / I think I’ve done ..god about 12 different magpies now and i’m totally over them and i dont care how popular they are NO MORE… so enjoy these…. they are the original and best!

I had an image of you: a bird / between continent and continent / with foreign songs in your head / through lightning, rainbow, cloud beating down the northern stars / forgotten lights on cruel waters / through snow, wind, darkness, rain, / with your one possession: song And I saw you once in a strange dream / where I walked through intricate gates of iron / and asked you to translate / Gruppe aus dem Tartarus (Gwen Harwood)

ORIGINAL FOR SALE $899 plus P&H This is from the original gouache and coloured pencil illustration. These gorgeous birds live in my backyard… the mother brings her babies to me every year – there are at least two. Every year she sits in my yard and her babies shriek and squawk and generally make huge pests of themselves, but they are so entertaining – I just love them! / And when they fly away, she serenades me for days with her lovely liquid song… Cheers:) Done on arches watercolour paper, heavy weight gsm All rights reserved.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre, / the falcon cannot hear the falconer; / things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; / mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / the blood-dimmed tide is loosed; and everywhere / the ceremony of innocence is drowned (W. B. Yeats)

Dénouement to dénouement, he took a personal pride in / the certain, certain way he lived his own, private life, / but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless, the / bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called; / nevertheless, the radio broke, And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often, / just the same he wore one grey tweed suit, bought one / straw hat, drank one straight Scotch, walked one / short step, took one long look, drew one deep breath, / just one too many. (poem by Kenneth Fearing, texture by playingwithbrushes)
