Here’s a bird tied to our country’s history. I just wonder how the conversation might go if a turkey and a bald head eagle were allowed to perch somewhere and compare their lives. Years a ago, I had the privilege to paint Courage, the turkey that was lucky enough to receive pardon from President Obama. I must have painted ten watercolors of Courage and his back-up bird, Carolina. The turkeys were raised not far from my home in Wayne County, NC. I was allowed to sit with them in their private coop where I did maybe ten watercolors of them.
