This Thanksgiving card is a painting of our own (pet) Narrangansett Turkey, named Billy. We have a female too that Billy is trying to win the affection of but she is more interested in Billy's reflection in the back porch sliding glass window - hilarious to watch but sad to see him so rejected. They are not the brightest birds. Even when he slinks off feeling defeated she'll stretch to see past her own reflection calling for the male she saw beyond the glass. One of these days I'll do a painting of him in full tail feather but for now, this is a close up of his head when he was younger.

Once again it's time to show off the work of Greeting Card Universe artists who use traditional methods of painting and drawing.

Here are some lovely Easter Cards - Easter Bunnies and Easter Flowers predominate but I'm sure there's something here to suit everyone! The card images are rather small so you will need to click on them to appreciate their beautiful work in full.
