Hey Pretty Turkey

August 17, 2018 by Cherie Leave a Comment

I’ve never thought of turkeys as pretty. Their heads seemed scary looking. Something out of a horror novel.

I know. It just wasn’t a fair thought. Poor turkeys.

But you know what? That changed when my husband sent me this picture of a turkey that had walked right up to his office window at work and puffed himself up.

This is a turkey in all it’s full glory. He is proud and beautiful. And I cannot get enough of looking at him.

This is the type of thing that would have distracted me from doing my job in the corporate world! LOL I would be sketching out this little guy, taking in the beauty of his form, the color in his feathers and snood, the proud way he stands…. this is the stuff of art inspiration.

All I can say now is hey there, pretty turkey. Thanks for showing the world who you are.

Consider taking one of Cherie's Painting the Psalms ecourses. These ecourses are all separate projects where we create a mixed media painting with inspiration from a particular Psalm.
