Sunrise Opera - Magpie Print, Limited Edition of 25

This magpie print reaches for something deeply familiar. For a few short weeks each year, the country turns purple beneath flowering jacarandas, and if you've ever stood beneath one at first light while the magpies began their morning carol, you'll know exactly the feeling this piece captures. It is the sound of home, of quiet beginnings, of mornings that seemed to stretch on forever. On canvas and at scale, this magpie print fills a room much the same way those memories fill the heart.

The magpie's carol is considered one of the most complex bird songs in the world, yet few Australians think of it in those terms. Instead, it is the soundtrack of childhood mornings, of walking to school, of weekends without schedules, and of waking early with not much to worry about. It is a sound woven into memory.

Only twenty five of this magpie print will ever exist. Each piece is individually numbered, and once the edition is sold out it will never be reproduced. The original oil painting, a finalist in the Brisbane Rotary Art Show in 2025, now hangs in a single private home. For collectors seeking a more accessible option, an open edition paper print is also available. I've also written about why a numbered edition is worth owning.

Every piece is printed here in Australia on museum grade canvas and carefully colour matched to the original painting until even the jacaranda tones feel just right. It arrives stretched, finished, and ready to hang, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity that I personally sign and number. Nothing about a magpie print of this calibre is mass produced. Each one is created to be treasured for years to come.
