Winter's Warmth.....Finished!

I put the final touches on this piece this morning.  Quite satisfied with it even though it seemed to take forever to complete.  About the only thing I would change would be the base as I think the snow feature would have looked much better had I done it as previous snow scenes, i.e., elevate the snow above a dark, recessed piece of wood.  The blond basswood just doesn't give it the snap the other would have.

I really like the female figure and now that I'm over the hurdle of carving a decent female face I hope to do more of them in the future.

There are quite a few photos in the Gallery and I look forward to receiving your comments.

  2. Ya done yourself proud on this one Lynn. Great coquettish expression on the gal and the guy's head tilt indicates he 's looking for a response was captured exquisitely.
    The buffalo robe with all the painting must have taken hours of time at your painting table but it is outstanding.

  3. You did a great job on this one...amazing details on the blankets. I would be cross-eyed from all that detailing. I think the figures are so magnificent that no one will notice the base, so no need to worry about it. Great carving.

  5. Wow Lynn you said in your last post that you were finding fine detail difficult ! I wish my eyes were as bad as yours, the detail on the blanket is outstanding. You really got the female face with this one it looks much softer , less cragy , and the paint on her is very soft. Beautiful piece Lynn, keep up the good work. Trev
