Who Is That Masked Man?

No...this isn't a Native American mummy, just the painted Winter Horses piece all masked up to keep the white paint off his face. I do it with a toothbrush dipped in white paint and while it is possible to control it a little I just wanted to make sure he didn't end up with a bunch of white freckles.

This piece turned out pretty nice. All that painting really make the piece even if some of it does get covered a little with snow. Standing in that deep snow also really adds to the scene.

Lots of photos in the Gallery and comments are always welcome.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
