 Jake the Turkey
A Jake turkey is a juvenile turkey thats not a adult turkey yet. I carved alot of odd cuts in the foreground{bushes,leaves & grass} and background{trees} which I knew would show up as I painted the scene. I wanted it to be either at dust or early dawn when most turkeys are moving around in the woods. This was a 9 1/4 X 18 3/4 old pine board,I left some of the old gray wood as a boarder,plus a few worm holes on the sides. Its painted with acrylic paints. Hope you enjoy this turkey and your thoughts or comments are always welcome. Forrest

It's a 3D painting with the frame built-in! Amazing! I can't say any more cause I don't know what to say! WOW! Bob L |
