Default cypress santa

Here is a cypress knee santa. The knee is about 10" tall, painted with acrylics and sealed with polyurethane.
Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Mary

Me too Mary! I know how you feel....by the way, what did you carve that Cypress Knee with?? Very clean cuts! I have some that I still need to strip the bark off of them. Yours looks great! Would love to see a close up picture of it!
Great work!
Blake

Good santa, those knees are fun and a challenge to leave the basic shape!

Santa with a little breeze up his skirts. Wonderful fun Santa.
I like the paint job you did on it as well. His face really turned out with great detail.
