to purchase-give them a call
Thought i'd jump online and post this recent floral still life before i start cooking the turkey.
My favorite way to eat turkey is to cover it in mustard and cayenne spice and deepfry it. thats my recipe for buffalo wings too!
Todays a day to be thankful for what we all have and not think about the small things that want to ruin our stoke for life. i wish i could do this everyday, without effort, but its hard isnt it? thinking of things like, how will whats happening in todays world affect me in the months ahead, etc etc etc. When youre thankful for what you DO have at the moment its hard to think of the future (and its uncertainties) at the same time.
So think of what you have, and not what you dont. make yourself happy for at least that amount of time. plenty of time for worry tomorrow right? i'm very thankful for my family and the fact that i can paint for a living. Thank you Jesus!
Now, go have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the day off!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Mike!
This painting is gorgeous, the colors are rich but the photo is a little burry, so I can't see the beautiful brushwork that I know is there. I'll be watching you.
I bet that Turkey is delicious!
