"Honey You Seen My Pants"

[tnartist05]

This Feb, a friend told me,Forrest you should try some bass wood.I said,NAwwwwwwwww I will just use this found wood to carve. Well a few days later,there was a box at my door,opening it, I found some nice square blocks of light wood!

So I carve some of it,course then I was hooked on it--LOL

I carved several small funny caricatures,as Judd Mudd and others,then a few bears also. The past few days,I wanted to not only try carving a funny old man but create a whole scene. This is a old man,like myself and he forgets things,like myself again!! The old man is 5 3/8 inches tall,the sink is 5 inches tall and the total base is 8 1/2 inches.

He had on his pants but forgot while heading to the sink to get his teeth. Hes got his tooth paste and brush in his hands. Not knowing when I carved his teeth,they fit.

Course,he yells "Honey You Seen My Pants" Thier old cat,is laughn and pointing,Heresssss your pants,right behind you!! Duhhh~

I hope you get a laugh out of this carving as I did carving and painting it!

Your thoughts or comments are always welcome. Thks Forrest

I love it!

I have some bass wood that I bought from SMWC but I have not put my knife into it yet. I have tons of white pine laying around and I am afraid of being spoiled.

Now that's an original. Really nice.

Spectacular!! Forrest, your originality never ceases to amaze me. Where do you GET these ideas! LOL.....and how you can combine your folk art/caricature carvings with such realism through your painting is such a highly unique combination......right down to the reflection in the mirror! There is so much to look at here, and the cat is simply hysterical. Great job, my friend! Bonnie
