Trudy's Turkeys

Acrylic on canvas, 12" x 12",  SOLD

These are Trudy's Turkeys - fairy junior at the time.  They have hilarious little expressions and body language.  Fun to photograph and fun to paint. I actually painted this piece up-side-down!  I was having problems painting what I thought I saw in terms of colour and value and not what was really there....turns out I just have to invert the image to encourage my right brain to dominate again.  I love the brushstrokes and the subtle muted and bright tones in the feathers.  I loved painting this one.
