Turkey Feather: Eastern Wild Turkey
Title: Turkey Feather: Eastern Wild Turkey
Artist: Timothy D. Thomas
Medium: Professional-grade watercolor on cold press illustration board
Dimensions: 20 x 30 inches
Description:
Turkey Feather: Eastern Wild Turkey is a masterfully rendered watercolor painting by Timothy D. Thomas, capturing the regal presence of a tom turkey in vivid, lifelike detail. Set against the backdrop of a single oversized turkey tail feather, the composition merges realism with symbolism — evoking themes of strength, heritage, and the natural majesty of the Eastern Wild Turkey.
Executed on cold press board using professional-grade watercolor pigments, this 20-by-30-inch work exemplifies Thomas’s signature luminous style. The artist employs a refined layering technique and a disciplined approach to color to achieve both subtlety and depth, allowing the textures of plumage and feather to radiate with clarity and purpose.
The juxtaposition of the tom’s alert, confident stance with the soft, symmetrical patterning of the tail feather creates a visual dialogue between power and grace, tradition and wilderness. It’s a tribute not only to the bird itself but also to the cultural and ecological significance it holds across the American landscape.
This piece stands as a compelling example of Thomas’s broader watercolor methodology — a fusion of process, precision, and artistic intuition developed over decades. It is equally suited for private collectors, wildlife enthusiasts, or those who value the intersection of fine art and natural history.
