Turkey Lane

An early morning in the woods, waiting for the Gobbler to come across the field, only to realize he headed the other way. So I pack up and start walking out, as I turned the corner guess who’s walking towards me? We both get spooked a little, at least I wasn’t the one that ran! This painting was born right then and there. The Turkeys are gorgeous, but the light and how it plays among the trees and falls across the road is really appealing. These same shadows act to deepen the painting, pushing the turkeys back, their placement hints that the birds just turned the corner!
