A cute close up traditional art. I do believe this bird is a thief because he/she steals my attention. Thanks for sharing this imaged and also the story. Enjoyable.

Nice job on the magpie. My favorite part of this work are the MANY shades and hues of blues that were used! ...even in its eye! -- very cool.

Nice ink drawing of the magpie. They are very pretty and I love the fact you did just his upper part of the face like a portrait. Love the colors blending into the sky as one. Thanks for sharing, nice drawing abilities.

Wonderful first impression. Like the use of colors to create great details and depth and textures. Like the blue background really helps with the details you but in to the bird. Thank you for sharing. Dale

Suzanne,
A wonderful picture of this Magpie gazing skyward with a sparkle in it's eye & the beautiful iridescent plumage beautifully depicted. It looks so real I almost feel it's going to take flight like the ones in my garden Expert & beautiful penmanship, choice, application & blending of your colours all going towards the creation of this work of Art.
Susan

Acrylic inks, eh? I must say I learn something new on a regular basis here. The sky is beautifully rendered. Nice details on the magpie, particularly the bill and eyeball. Interesting that you chose to put him or her in a blue hue but I suppose that makes sense as true black does fluoresce blue. Thanks for sharing.

I think Magpies are a largely underappreciated bird, they are beautiful to look at, a beauty that you have caught well here and as you say, they are intelligent.

LOL you are right about their reputation and it seems the same is all around the world

Great composition, you present this bird in a very lovely way and portrait showing the beautiful face - black in black in not easy to realize and you did perfect on show and light application on hid feathers and face - the eye is stunning as well the luminosity of his entire being - the soft pastel background is perfect as a natural color contrast - super job, all the best for the contest

lovely striking image of the magpie, i have been studying them outside my house today, and there plumage is indeed glossy and lovely, caught well the beady black eye, black is nice against the blue background, well done, thanks for sharing.
