Here’s the latest. Started painting him this afternoon and I think he’s going to be a real winner. Dressed in a Racoon hat and a red capote made from a Hudson Bay trade blanket and smoking a clay pipe. Large too…around 14″ with the walnut base. I really like working in a larger scale cause the carving is so much cleaner with the larger cuts and it give you so much more area to detail.
A nice little bust if I do say so myself! Actually, it’s not that small….14 1/2″ with the base. Really like the red capote and I tried something different this time on the feathers. To duplicate some fluff on the eagle plumage I used some acrylic modeling past and then dabbed it to create some texture. Works pretty good.
Anyway, hope you like him and your comments are always appreciated.
