It's true. Magpie and Cake is now immortalized in art.
Look at the fantastic painting that my fantastic brother painted for me for my birthday! Thanks, T and N!
It's based on a painting called "Magpie Eating Cake" by Rubens Peale (1865). Those 19th century American painters sure are a funny bunch.

Nice! I'd love someone to paint me something on my birthday!
Happy birthday by the way =)
Whoa, that's great! Did you know anything about the original painting before we named the site?
No - I found the painting after I thought of the name. I came across the painting when I did a Google search for "magpie and cake" after we'd started the site.
That's great! What a nice idea! The cake makes me think of brie cheese, so maybe Tristy's new painting could be called, Magpie enjoying Brie! :)
