Default Abner Pinochle III

Finally another post.This carving began as a practice excercise of a Leclair head.After adding the bowler and glasses,It started to get a life of it's own.There were several versions before I settled on the banker.He stands 16 inches tall from shoe sole to bowler,painted in oils.Hope everyone enjoys and comments/critiques are always welcome.
