Magpie
Magpie. Original acrylic painting on paper 8" x 10".
Young woman beset with magpies. Inspired by an archaic superstition that one would be in mortal danger if a magpie took one's hair to build a next.
By Julie K. Schuler. The painting does not contain the black bars or the "My Good Babushka" watermark, which were included here for formatting and security purposes.
