Part of the "Island Barns and Buildings" series
In A Michief of Magpies, Audrey captures a serene rural scene with playful energy. A striking blue roof anchors the composition, while a group of magpies perched on the barn and in its surroundings bring movement and life. The vibrant pink sky and intricate collage work in the distant cliffs add richness and depth, creating a sense of place, both grounded and imaginative. Audrey's use of colour and texture invites the viewer into a world where nature and human-made structures coexist harmoniously. In some cultures a flock or 'michief' of magpies is a symbol of good luck, while bringing joy and peace. Something special is about to happen.
