Painting:

   "Brush Turkey"
Mixed Media (Print collage & textured paper on Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper, & Acrylic)
24" high x 12" wide

After collage has dried, block in areas with dark wash of acrylic

Adding more darks, developing image

Bringing in light areas

Lost my turkey, gotta go find him again.

I like bringing warmth into the painting.

There he is - shame, just after I started to paint him, the real brush turkey went away. Probably not a good place to start a nest/mound.
