The Thieving Magpie (2)

Magpie painted onto the Sheet Music from the Thieving Magpie Overture with the bird eyeing up a shiny spoon which is depicted as tied and dangling down from the mount. White mount within Black frame. The Thieving Magpie (2) has been specifically created by request for John Willsdon. This is the second version of The Thieving Magpie, the first version having been sold in the Ainetheon Arts Summer Show 2022. The second version depicts a magpie sitting on one post (version 1 has a double post) looking to the hanging silver spoon dangling from the left hand corner (in version 1 the spoon hangs from the right corner). There are some additional subtle differences in the look and stance of Magpie 2, making both artworks quite unique and not a copy painting.
