Yesterday, I plugged away at my taxes, not an activity my personality is well suited for. The previous night I created the pencil sketch for this art in my sketch book. It waited for me patiently on the kitchen table while I took on the less savory task. I could take breaks, work on the sketch a bit, feel refreshed and go back to my tax work. For the creative spirit, this is like an oasis in a desert. 
I will share turkey photos and tell you all about my visits with these funny creatures soon. But for the moment, I just wanted to share the fun they've brought me.No matter how you're feeling when you begin, there is no way to hold onto a grumpy mood while you're sketching a turkey's face! And if it's the last thing you do before going to bed at night, you're certain to fall asleep smiling.
They're GORGEOUS Vickie! There's such an expression in those eyes! Love it!
ReplyDeleteVickie, I love those faces almost as much as I love "my" (your!) Turkey Vulture painting!
ReplyDeleteI love them, but you actually make them funnier then they are in real life! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful, Vickie, and yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean...
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling just looking at those little faces. They are gorgeous, and I love their expressions!
ReplyDeleteLove the-shine. They had me glancing at them for a while. You have a great eye for nature.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever observed you painting/drawing with the same expression on your face as what you're drawing? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, everyone!
ReplyDeleteTo Murr Muse, I'm sure...while I wasn't looking. But I'll be watching for that expression. It's too much fun to miss!
A really lovely piece of art Vickie, you are really so talented....so....hope you don't mind, I’m sending you a little Sunshine Award for your blog, hop over and take a look on my blog for instructions. Thanks for being so inspiring!

Your photographs and paintings are wonderful! Watercolors is something I haven't tried yet, but I may have to dig mine out.
