Coming February 9th, 2027.
Author Wendi Silvano and I have been working very closely with Turkey on some ideas for the trap, but so far each plan has back-fired spectacularly. Might just have to leave it to Turkey and his pals.
The reason a Leprechaun trap is needed is because there is a hole in the roof of Turkey’s barn, and Turkey believes getting his feathers on some Leprechaun gold is the solution to his problem. Coincidentally, there was also a hole in the roof of MY barn while I was beginning the drawings!
As you will see on the front endpapers, Farmer Jake has been setting out buckets to collect the water from the leaky roof so it doesn’t rot all the floorboards and spoil all the Turkey feed. Here’s the drawing.
Here’s the painting in its beginning stage.
Here’s the final watercolor.
I’ll be posting more about the process of illustrating Turkey’s Leprechaun Trap as we get closer to February 9th.
