Fledgling Maggie by Joan Mckay

Features

ARTIST NOTES: This vulnerable, fluffy and just fledged magpie stood for the first time gazing up at the slightly older magpies in care in our aviary. His expression shows his feelings. Within a day he was fluttering to the high perches happily with the others. The scratchboard was worked in layers, gradually building up lights and at times adding ink to shade.

ARTIST BIO

My love for art and nature have led me to watercolour painting, graphite drawing and scratchboard as well as caring for wildlife, mainly birds and macropods, in the Canberra region. Courses I have enjoyed include:a semester of drawing (in the Fine Arts department at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA), Sumi-e painting (Andre Sollier), Watercolour painting (20+ years - Noel Ford and Lesley Wallington), Scratchboard (Rikki Fisher).
