Daily Paintings by Peggy Thatch Sibley---- I try to do a daily painting each day but occasionally miss that goal. I paint in oil, acrylic and watercolor so my paintings will vary in medium. I paint small and large. I paint landscapes, doing plein air when the weather cooperates, stilllifes, florals, people and pets, and most any subject that inspires me that day.

Turkeys
This one was a challenge to get a correct colored matt. I finally chose an Oyster White, which leaned toward a golden white, then put a dark gold liner on it, which really made the feathers glisten on the turkey, then framed it in an oak frame. It really looked sharp. This one is acrylic also. He sometimes does watercolor and I want him to try oil but that will take some stern encouragement I am afraid. He thinks that medium would be too difficult to handle. Guess a lot of it is what one gets used to, and is comfortable with.
