Default Santa Bust

Decided to get in the holiday spirit. He is about 4" tall, and basswood. Had to paint him, every Santa I met was in color. Was glancing at Mark Akers Santas as I carved him, wish he measured up! I am in awe of Mark's carvings. Any comment are appreciated, practice, practice, hopefully better, but never perfect!
