Finished! My new #painting is 'Magpies’ Treasure.'
There's gold & jewels (& other trinkets #Detectorists & #SmallProphets fans will recognise) but for the #birds the real treasure is those eggs.

But here's the shocker... studies show that magpies are NOT actually attracted to shiny things! They’re cautious around unfamiliar things. Their curiosity and intelligence may have inspired the myth, which lives on in folklore - and in my painting.

Beautiful work. The composition and subtle details are captivating, and the piece carries a strong emotional presence. I’d be interested to know if this work is available for purchase.
