I have a family of magpies in my garden too but they don't half make a lot of noise chattering to each other :) Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year to you and your family Fiona and I look forward to seeing more of your excellent art work next year.

I'd better paint just the one then!, only joking... This is a really clever composition, I love the fence posts acting as a broken backdrop, really good work Fiona, and thank you for all your many kind comments on my work since I joined POL earlier this year, they have been appreciated.

Thanks Derek! Luckily they don't stay in the garden Val they only vist, mainly to clear up any food that the chickens leave.lol Thank you for your kind comment. Your welcome Alan, your work is a delight and inspiring. The photo I based this on was the whole family of seven, on grass and the fence I made up. Thank you for your advice and encouragement Alan. Christine, I'm looking forward to having a go at any challenges you have planned for next year. You really get me thinking, thank you. Thanks very much Anne!

Merry Christmas to you also, Fiona. A lovely festive image, Magpies have a cheeky nature and when I have the time I love watching them in my garden.

I love your painting, but not so keen on these birds in real life. Seven for a secret never to be told isn't it? Happy Christmas to you too.

24"x16" oil. A very Happy Christmas to everyone at POL, on the gallery and behind the scenes. Thank you for your support, kindness and encouragement over the last twelve months, you make the site a wonderful place to be a part of. I did this from a photo my husband took of a 'charm' of Magpies that visit the garden....seven in total, must have been a good year for them!
