Last night, I went to the Minnesota Watercolor Society meeting, where EmmyWhite was the demonstrator. Her demonstration was a fun, whimsical painting of turkeys who had been pardoned, and were in a shelter. There were so many laughs as she told her thought process and basically, became a kid again. We all need to find the kid within us when we paint, don't you think? I decided to do a turkey painting this morning in homage to Emmy. It was so fun to play, and I can honestly say that I didn't look up turkeys before sketching this. I went from my memory. No surprise by the look of it, right? It was a stretch and a big risk, but so much fun!!!! This painting is called Two Faced Turkey. See the 2 headed turkey in the background? I really admire Emmy's paintings, and love that she follows her true spirit evey time she paints. Check out Emmy's paintings at

Good job Karen.a story, for sure. I'm imagining doing a book with no words, or, at least, few words, and then picture stories, like Emmy was talking about. One or two pics per chapter, or more maybe? What a fun project.
