"Cheeky Chatters" - Magpie with Cherry Blossoms
"Cheek Chatters" plays with the magpie's reputation as a bold, noisy and mischievious bird.
Often linked with superstition and the old rhyme “one for sorrow”, the magpie can be seen as an omen or unwelcome visitor. But having cared for and hand-reared an orphaned magpie when I was younger, I have always seen a sweeter, more cheerful and charming side of their charactor.
In this painting, I wanted to set their misunderstood reputation against something softer: the bright cherry blossom, fresh greens, and lightness of spring - to reflect the bright and affectionate charactor I have always associated with them.
Painted in August 2025 this original artwork forms part of my ongoing exploration of British Birds.
