Thanksgiving Turkeys

 Daddy Steve: The kids have been coloring their hearts out with beautiful results.                             Let's take a look...

Some like Ann Marie took a very traditional approach, while others like Rhoda let their imaginations run wild.


Quite a few were inspired by great works of art...

Miguel: I was inspired by the Dutch masters.  And I love windmills.
Marta: I made a 'Klimt' turkey...
Katy: ...while mine is a 'Mondrian.'

Nathan: I've got a 'Warhol' turkey.
Kevin: I'm not sure where this came from; I know I've seen it somewhere.

Nanny Wendy: Oh!  You clever boys made a 'Jackson Pollock' turkey!
Baby Conor: Yeeee!
Mikey: Hee-hee!

From Emile and Giancarlo: a little national pride and good-natured (we hope) rivalry.

Emile: Hmmph.
Giancarlo: Hmmph.

Some drew things they liked or were meaningful to them.

Daisy: I like daisies and the color pink.
Mikko and Tyler: We like soccer and hockey!

Blake: I like Harry Potter.
Frank: I like hamburgers.
Rolf: Und I like monkeys!

Nicholas Sahara: We don't have Thanksgiving in my home country, so I drew our                       national symbol: a silver spider rampant on a field of azure.
Scout: And my turkey is getting his revenge.

BR: My turkey is a red shirt from 'Star Trek.'  Going to his doom!
Pete Dakota: I based mine on Van Gogh's 'Starry Night.'
Stephen Orange: This turkey is a cranberry jelly-fish.  

Ravi and Patrick collaborated on a design that reflected their appreciation of logic.

Ravi: At Thanksgiving we have pie, so...
Patrick: ...naturally we decorated our turkeys with Pi.

Holly Belle's turkey had a message...

Holly Belle: Give you any idea, John Martin?
John Martin: I think you've got the wrong holiday, there.

Kaveh's message was timely in any season...


Each kid's artwork was unique, just like them.

Gregoropolis kids: But in the end, we're all turkeys together!!!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING from GREGOROPOLIS!
