With Thanksgiving fast approaching, many people are searching for ways to decorate their homes in time for the festivities. Some people opt to place a few cardboard cut-outs of turkeys here and there. Others like to display framed, holiday art. If you count yourself among the later group, we’d like to make a few suggestions:
Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #1: Archibald Thorburn
The late Scottish artist Archibald Thorburn’s work would make a wonderful addition to a Thanksgiving art display wall. Thorburn was known for his bird illustrations, including the one titled Wild Turkey. It features sepia, black and white hues that would blend in well with many autumn decorations. If pheasant, goose or duck happen to be on your holiday menu, don’t worry. Thorburn’s collection of holiday art includes images of them too.
Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #2: John James Audubon
While we are on the subject of bird illustrations, let’s not forget about ornithologist John James Audubon. His artwork would look phenomenal on a Thanksgiving display wall as well. His Wild Turkey fine art print is considered to be one of the best available. You could feasibly pair it with turkey illustrations by J. Stewart, Archibald Thorburn and Charles I. Bonapart.
Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #3: Leo Stans
Do you remember The National Park Series of framed prints that were released in the 1990s? If so, you may recall the artist Leo Stans. His body of work contains very colorful prints featuring turkeys in the wild. Two prints of note are Turkeys and Along the Fence. Both show the turkeys in a natural, autumn setting. Because of the colors involved, they would also pair well with Red Horse Signs’ print titled Turkey Hunt.
Thanksgiving Holiday Art Collection #4: T.C. Chiu
Would you rather take a whimsical approach to your Thanksgiving holiday art display? Try taking a peek at artist T.C. Chiu’s collection of work. Known for his artistry with Giclee, watercolors and oils, he has a fun series of art dubbed Turkey Chef. There are three paintings in the series. Each one features a chef in the process of preparing a turkey dinner. As such, you may want to hang them in the dining room or near the entrance to the kitchen.
Those are just a sampling of the Thanksgiving art available. Some of the additional artists to consider are Katherine Roundtree, Currier & Ives, Claude Monet and Diane Arthurs. To learn more about them and others, please contact us at Fulcrum Gallery. Our toll-free number is (800) 644-1278.
