Hi Friends, This is a new oil painting I did. It is of the Ocellated Turkey, which live in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, Northern Guatemala & Belize. They are on the world Slam for hunters. The males are only 6.6 lbs, while the females are 11 lbs. They have no beard. They do have spurs. It took alot of study to paint this bird! They are soo colorful and detailed. I do have prints available.

Today we made my "Garnet" w**e. Should have 24 bottles in 21 days. It is everyone's favorite and I have been making it for 40+ years. Then we canned 22 qts of spicy beet pickles....am a little tired tonight! I already have 79 bottles of rose hip w**e made this year. We have been trying to catch up since our busy summer and fall at Art shows. Now I need to get back at painting...as I have a large commissioned saw blade to do and dozens of Christmas ornaments to get done, for sales this year.
