Happy Maggie – Original Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A cheerful magpie painting, full of texture, character, and Aussie charm.

Happy Maggie is my friendly take on one of Australia’s most iconic birds, the magpie. Known for its beautiful song and cheeky spirit, the magpie often gets a wary reputation, but here, I’ve captured Maggie in a warm, joyful light.

Painted in oils with palette knives, this piece is rich in texture, with thick strokes that give every feather depth and personality. Framed in oak and ready to hang, Happy Maggie is a celebration of the magpie’s curious, bright nature and a reminder of the lighter side of this much-loved bird.
