Arguing on Line

A few swallows gather on an electrical wire, while two of them are clearly caught in the middle of a heated debate. The others watch with great interest—and perhaps a little surprise—as the argument unfolds. Are they fighting over the best seat, the direction of the next flight, or simply who started it all? We may never know. Just another day of drama in the bird world.

About Magdalene Story
In my bird portraits, I seek to capture the individuality and quiet presence of each bird.The species I choose to paint are selected with care — they are often birds that are gradually becoming less familiar in our everyday surroundings. Each bird carries its own quiet story. Through these portraits, I hope to celebrate the beauty and presence of these species, while gently reflecting on the importance of preserving the natural balance that supports both wildlife and ourselves. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind, original hand-painted oil on board.
