Happy Thanksgiving. The November painting for my calendar. The scene is inspired by a Thanksgiving assignment I had in elementary school. We had to write a little finger-puppet play. Me being me couldn't keep it simple and actually designed my own finger-puppet scenery in addition to the little pilgrim and turkey cut-outs they gave us to color. The story I came up with was basically two pilgrims wandering around frustrated at what to have for dinner. A turkey in the bushes overhears them, gets frustrated with all the noise and stupidity and blurts out a few ideas, before quickly realizing his mistake. Fortunately for the turkey, he was helpful and the pilgrims thank him by not eating him. :) I was like 8. So here it's just one pilgrim, tired and frustrated, and a turkey with a stronger sense of self-preservation than the finger-puppet one. LoL
