Hi all.  This is kind of an odd one.  A co-worker asked that I paint a small (less than 1"x1") turkey, the date he shot it, and a feather on a call he made out of the turkey's wingbones(called a yelper, he said).  Hard to get much detail but he said he liked it.  Thanks for lookin'.

Grygon--yes, it is pretty small.  I've been doing miniatures for a while now and it really messes with your eyes while painting.  Hard to find adequate brushes too--but ya know we all find that favorite one.....here's a 1.5" chickadee I did yesterday--bad photo.  "soft-focus" background done w/ a couple sprits w/ airbrush.

LOL--yeah, I see a little out of focus for a little while after a mini painting session---good lighting helps a lot however.

How much would you charge normally? I am trying to figure out how to make my own wingbone call and I like your little painting.
