a painting with turkey feathers, and a painting with horns. these turkey feathers are from a hybrid rare turkey. An eastern wild turkey raped a royal palm domestic, and the offspring had these fuzzy speckled iridescent violety feathers. THEN, an owl came and killed two young ones, and the farmer (my pal) gave me the feathers! The ram's horns are from an Icelandic ram that died in Michigan.
