Magic of the Magpie - magpie birds by Sandy Gardner
Those who are superstitious traditionally fear magpies. To see a single Magpie is thought to be unlucky. In fact this is not true and should be reversed. A solitary Magpie is a lucky symbol, a precious gift. When you are alone and you see a solitary Magpie it is offering you a wish. When your wish comes true you will appreciate the Magic of the Magpie and you will realise that malevolent spirits, which desire the magic for them selves, shaped this deception to prevent you from accepting the gift the magpie wish to bestow upon you.
Magpies and songbird decline: To discover whether magpies could be to blame for the decline, the RSPB commissioned the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) to analyse its 35 years of bird monitoring records.
The study found that songbird numbers were no different in places where there were many magpies from where there are few. It found no evidence that increased numbers of magpies have caused declines in songbirds and confirms that populations of prey species are not determined by the numbers of their predators. Availability of food and suitable nesting sites are the main factors limiting songbird populations.
This is an maquette limited edition giclee print of 100.
The artwork is printed at high resolution using pigment inks.
The print is numbered, titled and signed by myself.
The artwork is printed on high quality 260gms fine art paper with a satin finish.
The artwork is available in two sizes, measuring approx 30 x 42cm (A3 size) or 59 x 81cm (A1 size) leaving a white border for framing.
The use of a standard size means your artwork can be easily placed into a standard sized A3 or A1 frame of your choice.
The print is protected by a clear sleeve and shipped in Sandy Gardner packaging within a sturdy cardboard mailer.
My artworks involve the combination of traditional media such as painting, drawing, sculpture and digital photography combined using digital media.
