#picapica — Public Fediverse posts

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.

My #painting of #magpies treasure has now moved on to the nest itself. Lovely, fiddly, detailed & painstaking work in a symphony of umbers.

And yes, in a nod to #detectorists, I DID add a cycling proficiency badge, just like the one I had in the 1970s.

If you've been watching the development of my #painting of two #magpies... the treasure is coming!

Should I add a cycling proficiency badge do you think?

My #painting of two #magpies and their treasure is progressing - though rather more slowly than I would like. I need a least an hour completely undisturbed to get any painting done and that has been hard to find!

Anyway, check out all those awesome colours in the plumage. Gosh, that was fun to paint.

My next task is to start on their treasure, all tangled up in the nest.

#WorkInProgress #picapica #detectorists #art

I've been watching the #magpies in the trees & orchard opposite our house. They're pretty busy this time of year!

And they've inspired me to draft a composition for a new #painting. This afternoon I added the first tentative jewels of #watercolour. There's not much to see here yet, but I think even from this crappy photo you can see there will be treasure!

(Plus there will be all kinds of things to enjoy if you're a fan of #Detectorists and #SmallProphets.)

It's so lovely when my customers show me how they hang my artworks. Pauline recently moved to Kent & has hung her framed prints of my original #paintings ' #Murmuration' and ' #Magpie #PicaPica' in her new kitchen/diner.

She says "It’s as if I chose my cabinets to complement them! I didn’t honestly."

Prints of my paintings are so affordable. And if you choose to buy a digital file, you can get it printed in a size and format of your choice. No excuse for bare walls! Lovely things here: https://janetomlinson.com/

Il fil rouge di #risma_2024 è questa gazza. Un personaggio simbolico che è già comparso alcune volte, l'allegoria dell'ispirazione, delle idee, dell'istinto e dell'immaginazione.

"Target"
Darsi obiettivi e raggiungerli per platinare la vita. E se non ci si riesce va bene uguale, perché nel viaggio si raccoglie sempre qualcosa di buono.

#skjære med det morsomme latinske navnet #PicaPica er fugl vi sjeldent treffer langt fra folk. Den er med på å rydde opp etter oss, men får muligens et dårlig rykte fordi den roter i søppel. Neste gang du ser ei skjære i sol, så se på hvordan fargene spiller i det svarte. Du finner den over hele Hedmark, der det er folk.

GDub's Reflections on 20 years of the Mad Maggies

"For those who don't know, Maggie was accordionista with Polkacide for 13 years. Several Polkacide members were in the first iteration of the MadMs (plus the bass player was from Those Darn Accordions).

Nope, we're not a Polka band, but we do play some original polkas. Pica Pica Polka is a staple in the set lists."
