I’ve seen hundreds of strutting wild turkey toms over the years, and somehow the sight never becomes ordinary. Whether in the fields of northern Durham County, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or in the Pennsylvania woods, watching a tom put on his spring display is always a thrill.

That excitement inspired Spring’s Grand Display, selected for the cover of the 2026 West Virginia Wildlife Calendar and also for inside of the 2027 North Carolina Wildlife Calendar.

The original painting is available for sale. For details, click on the Nature & Wildlife page.

Limited-edition prints are also available, with only 200 being produced. The approximately 7.5” x 9.5” image comes in a white 11” x 14” mat, ready for a standard frame, with a clear protective sleeve and certificate of authenticity.
