Here’s one of my most popular carvings.  I can’t remember just how many of these I’ve made over the years but I do know that as soon as they’re finished they’ve left the Gallery to a new home.   Comments welcome. 

While updating photos I came across this video series which explains and show my painting technics.  It’s an 8 part series and here is the first segment:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEuvls35FW4&t=14s&ab_channel=LynnO.Doughty

Wow!  Now here’s a surprise.  I found this photo in the “Sherlock Holmes” folder!  I did this one back in the 70’s.  I’ve always wondered where the photos of that piece disappeared to.  It was probably the  of the first scene I ever created.  Sure wish I had taken more photos of it.  Note the…

Here’s what I’m working on at the moment.  This one stands about 15″ tall on the base so he’ll be a real eye catcher when he’s finished.  Still have to add the feathers to the shield and maybe a totem above the horse.  Hopefully, there will be scalp locks hanging from his shoulders as soon as we…

Originally published in 2011 Whittled the shovel this morning to finish the major parts of this scene.  Still have to make some biscuits to go into the Dutch oven then it’s off to the paint table.  I gave him a water bucket to put something in that right hand.  He can use it to douse…

Originally published in 2011.  Well, here he is.    I think you’ll agree that this turned out to be a pretty impressive piece,  at least I hope you do.  It sure has seemed a long and involved one with lots of hurdles to jump but I think we did okay.  There are a few things that…

Originally published in 2011 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…

Originally published in 2012 Here’s a new bust I’ve been working on while the paints drying on Iron Eagle.  I like doing this little busts as they are certainly easier than a full figure but the best thing is that they sell quite quickly.  This one turned out really nice.  The contrasting colors and texture…

Originally published in 2012 I think this one will start off 2012 in the right direction.  I really like the contrast between the colors and Judy says he looks cold so as far as I’m concerned he’s a success.  It took a lot of splattering with a toothbrush to get the effect I was after…

Originally published in 2012 I want to thank you for all the really neat ideas and suggestions for the next video series.  I think I’ve got one that you’ll approve of and that will make one of the niftiest carvings we’ve done yet.  We’re going to do a bust of a Fireman.  My good friend…
