I've been going over photos,paintings, and turkey videos to get fresh ideas to add to this large number of paintings I'm attempting. In the NWTF 2008 annual report was a very small picture of a turkey stamp that just took my breath away. I took one of my similar poses and tried to capture that color and light. I'm really happy with today's painting. In regard to the painting that inspired this piece, it is probably the best turkey painting I've ever seen. The artist wasn't named, but I'll find out who painted it. I've collected many prints from other artists. You might be surprised to hear, I'm not my favorite artist!
