Sour Note Charlie III

I've done this figure a number of times and this is another version of him.  I think this one looks more dejected than the others which is good.  Still a few details to add....broken strings, bullet holes, etc.  The music sheet is metal and will be a challenge in itself to paint.  I'm thinking "Cowboy's Lament" for the title.  This one will probably not hang around long once completed so I think I'll enjoy him a while before letting him go for his next appearance.

More photos in the Gallery and your comments are always welcome.

    Lynn,
    He's looking pretty sad, I don't remember seeing this guy before, but I like him. How tall is he, where is the other pictures?

    he is rather sad looking...I guess the Bluebird of Happiness made a deposit on his windshield instead of bring him great joy and success. He looks neat and I love the detail of the guitar. Good job in capturing the struggling artist in this carving.

    I saw this guy on your work table while you were working on the coal miner. I love it. I'm not fond of the sad look but that's OK. I'm sure others will. Great job as always. Ginny

    I love this guy, as I am into guitars as well. I will have to try something similar. My technique is improving a lot, now I need to work on my own style. I believe you said in one of your videos you want people to look at your carvings and say I know who did that, not look at them and say that looks like a carving that one guys does. Thanks for the videos!!

    This piece is really nice. I especially like the flair of the bottom of his vest. Lynn, you are a master of detail!
