One for Sorrow

by Sam Hogg

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret, never to be told

I’ve always had a particular love of the old superstitious rhyme around magpies, which foretold your luck depending on how many magpies you see at once. This piece is 6 x 4″ in watercolour and gouache, including reflective gold paint and shimmer colours in both the magpie and the hair of the figure.

It ships from the UK and comes framed as shown – please note the frame does not come with hanging brackets or hooks, just a pop out stand.

Product Surface / Material: hot press watercolor paper
