Big Timber Toms – Turkeys

This painting portrays wild turkey toms moving through a dense, misty forest, with feathers fully fanned in a proud display. The dominant bird stands alert in the foreground, richly detailed with iridescent bronze, copper, and black plumage that catches the filtered woodland light. A second turkey follows behind, reinforcing a sense of hierarchy and natural order. The forest floor is alive with fresh green growth, while tall trees fade softly into the background, creating depth and atmosphere. The overall mood conveys strength, alertness, and the primal confidence of a mature tom ruling his timbered domain.
