Claude, I’ll bet that’s where I got the dog roughout, at a get together in Lebanon, TN a few years ago. Didn’t quite know what to do with it, so I figured he would add some interest to this piece.

[4ND3R5]

Very nice. The wrinkles in the shirt are great as well. Are the hands and head separate pieces than the body?

[Glenn Jennings]

A great scene with beautifully carved and painted work. I love the attention to detail in the piece. It just makes it something special.

[Claude]

Great looking scene. The dog reminds me of some of Tom Wolfe's hounds...

I really like the effect you've gotten in the shirt and jeans, both the carving and painting.

Mighty fine, don"t you just love the "golden age" when we've loaded so much into our databases that it is hard to fill something you're looking for

Nicley carved and painted. I like your presentation, it tells a story.

This fellow was started a few years ago with a different purpose, but I couldn't get excited about it, so he sat on the shelf for some time. Finally decided his first loves on earth were horses and dogs. Dog is from a roughout I bought several years ago, but can't remember who from.
