Make Yourself At Home, I Made Turkey

Happy Thanksgiving!

To show my appreciation for all of you out there, I made you a turkey. Enjoy, it’s a guilt free turkey with zero calories, it’s vegan and it won’t give you gas. Thank you all for stopping by.

On a side note I managed to loosen up my painting a bit with this turkey. After the attempt with the bluebird post I had to take drastic measures. The secret technique I devised involved a bottle of Petite Sarah and while watching Dancing With the Stars. Please don’t tell anyone. No self-respecting Forester Artist should be caught doing such a thing. However, it did loosen up my brush!

No turkeys were harmed in the making of this post. Sorry, I can’t say the same for dinner.

As a vegan, I skip all those Thanksgiving menus that dominate the internet these days. However, I noticed the word ‘vegan’, so I opened your post to find a wonderful Turkey.
Your Turkey is proud and safe. May he have a great life!
Happy Thanksgivings.

  Yes, this turkey is free to range through my blog as long as he wants! My guide picture for this watercolor was of a big old Tom from last Spring and he was strutting for a bunch of hens. Fun to watch.

Absolutely wonderful art! Too good to eat 😉
To help you save face with the fact dancing with the stars was on… I’m just going to blame the wine! Wine does have interesting effects on things =-O Ha!
Have a wonderful thanksgiving!!

  Thank you Rose! I hope you and your family have a glorious Thanksgiving too. I’m afraid the turkey I enjoy tonight won’t be zero calories, but that won’t stop me. ;D
