 Good to the Last Drop Here are some photos of my latest piece prior to heading off to the paint table. The Collector specified that he be holding a bottle of Crown Royal Whiskey. They must pay pretty good wages at that  's place of employment. Haven't decided whether to have him looking left or right. Any suggestions??Last edited by Lynn O.

| Re: Good to the Last Drop Left. Everything about his posture says left to me. Man, you are sooo good! Can't wait to see him painted. Do you paint by hand or airbrush?

| Re: Good to the Last Drop I agree with Nancy....looking to the left. Great looking piece (once again). Nice posture and proportions. Just curious, but about what height do you generally make these figures? I like the design and it looks great so far. |

| Re: Good to the Last Drop My figures average from 12" to 15" tall including the base. They're painted with a brush using a good quality Folk Art acryillic. I finish them with a thin coating of polyurethane satin finish varnish. |

| Re: Good to the Last Drop Thanks for the info. It's hard to tell from the photograghs how tall a carving is (not only yours, but in general). Your carvings are porportioned very well and match what I generally see as "successful"... By successful, I mean that they simply look good. I've noted in another post (somewhere) that I have been paying attention to proportions of caricature carvings and yours seem to be a PERFECT example of what I consider ideal. By proportion, I don't mean overall height, but the balance between the parts. I have found that height does affect the proportions as the carvings get smaller (generally speaking). Sorry for the distraction...... Excellent carving. |

| Re: Good to the Last Drop As always Lynn, very nice!! I'm curious about the surface. I see tool marks, but yet some areas look very smooth, as if sanded. What is your process for preparing the surface for paint?
