Yahoo! Finally got this one off the work table. Had so many other projects going in the shop it was hard to get the time needed to complete it. But it’s done and I think it looks great. – In painting the figure I muted most of the colors to give the figure a look…

Fence Work 2 – 06/18/2015
At last! Boy, it was a chore getting this one completely carved. With all the work around the place and the hellacious amounts of rain, it seems like we’ve been mowing almost everyday to keep up with it. But as the hot weather has finally moved in the showers seem to have stopped, it’s on…

Stay tuned! But don’t expect his attitude to change much! Comments welcome.
John Wayne Gets Some Color! – 06/03/2015
Finished this one up yesterday and it turned out really nice. I forgot to measure it but it’s around 10-12 inches tall with the base. I was fortunate enough to sell it before it was even painted so I hope the collector likes the color version. The Duke will take up residence soon in south…

The Duke – 06/27/2015
Well, it’s been a while but I finally got back to doing something. My Sister visited over the Memorial Day weekend and on her way spent some time up in Winterset, Iowa attending the grand opening of the new John Wayne Museum (http://johnwaynebirthplace.museum/). She brought along a bunch of brochures, etc., that she picked up…
Black Crow – Finished!
I think the piece turned out quite nice and clearly shows the fun you can have in creating a Native American. Comments welcome.
Yellowstone Charlie – 05/30/2015
Painted this Mountain Man over the weekend and must say that he really turned out nice. I thought he looked a little plain just by himself so added the knife and sheath and that really turned him into something else. Comments welcome.
Starbucks My Patootie! – 5/26/2015
I finally finished this one this morning and it’s been a struggle. Old age has given me a cataract in my right eye which is the one my vision is centered on. Doesn’t bother me that much for distance viewing but up close it’s a real bummer. Trying to do fine detail, especially painting is…
