Magpie in the Apple Tree

This original mixed media painting portrays a magpie perched on an apple branch, surrounded by green leaves and small apples. A familiar sight in Swedish gardens and urban landscapes, the curious bird becomes the focus of a quiet moment inspired by the everyday beauty of nature close to home. A combination of acrylic, colored pencils and genuine gold leaf creates a balance between soft natural textures and luminous details. The gold leaf catches and reflects the light, changing subtly with the viewing angle and adding a delicate shimmer to the composition. Presented with a white passepartout and gold frame, this original artwork brings a touch of Swedish nature and quiet character into the home. • Materials: Mixed media — acrylic, colored pencils and genuine gold leaf on acid-free fine art paper with linen texture • Image area with passepartout: approx. 20 × 30 cm • Mat (Passepartout): White • Frame: Gold frame with acrylic glass • Frame size: approx. 33 × 43 cm
