Colored pencil and pan pastel on Bristol board, 11x14”
A study in contrast and curiosity, The Magpie and the Blossoms captures a fleeting moment of motion and light beneath the spring canopy. Layered colored pencil and pan pastels build the luminous background, softening into the crisp realism of the bird’s plumage and flowering branches.
Each feather, petal, and glint of iridescence is rendered by hand, balancing texture with restraint. The result is both vivid and contemplative — a quiet celebration of the beauty that exists between stillness and flight.
