You know how when you cut through a piece of wood you get sawdust?

The cats were very happily milling about his feet, licking up the turkeydust as it fell.

Many years ago, the frozen, locally farm-raised turkey that was delivered to my parents turned out to be way too big to fit in the oven.

My dad took it down to his workbench in the basement and sawed it in half while it was still frozen.

There are several subspecies of Tundra Swan. The one depicted in this painting is a Bewick’s Swan which is only occasionally seen in BC, usually in flocks of other swan species.

I just really wanted to paint that colourful bill!

Can’t wait! This was so much fun last year. I loved seeing so many people creating and sharing their work!
