Oil on linen stitched together. While attending a meditation retreat at Spirit Rock meditation center, I spent many days in silence, often observing the wild turkeys that had no fear of humans. The colors and textures of their feathers amazed me. I had no idea how beautiful they were, so in silence, I tried to memorize their patterns. This painting was a memory of that experience.
