Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  This month as FLOWN by, and now we've landed on the great feasting day of the year.  Not to overdo the aviary references, here's a giant doodle of a quite charming fowl.  I actually drew him last year, but never posted him.  I added an acrylic background to the colored pencil and ink, because always important to accessorize a turkey.

Yankee Doodle Dandy - Calendar Art

Today I accidentally knocked over the cutest ceramic coffee cup I had gotten around Christmas at Starbucks, and it broke--broke!--when it hit my desk.  I couldn't believe that slight impact shattered it.  Ugh.  So sad.  On the other hand, the coffee that soaked into my calendar looked like a head to me.  I proceeded to draw over it and extend it, and ended up with this little ditty.  Then I proceeded to sing "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, Yankee Doodle Do or Die.  A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the Fourth of July."  Yes, that's right.  Over and over and over again.  Oh well, the drawing was worth it.  You just never know where a coffee spill will lead!

(P.S., I continue with my crappy uploads since I still can't download from my camera...please bare with me.  Can't get the computer in for repair yet.
