Magpie II

10″ (25cm) x 14″ (36cm) (inc thin frame)

Sallyann Beirne is such a wonderfully exciting addition to the Gallery. As contemporary artists go, she has the ultimate x-factor; oodles of artistic talent, a superb understanding of colour and all topped off with the perfect balance of eclectic composition; that ‘sweet-spot’ within which, lies the difference between a lovely painting and an amazing piece of art.

Magpie II – is a small, original oil painting, the composition of which, consists of one magpie in the top left of the canvas and another magpie peeping slightly ‘out of shot’ and is depicted against the most amazing, vibrant red and green, distressed effect background, with a spectacular hint of gold, using carefully applied, gold leaf.
