Attached is my interpretation of Susan Irish's excellent drawing of "Tuckers" migrant worker picture. Basswood with acrylic paints, deft satin finish, size is 4 1/2" X 2 1/2".

Thanks for the drawing Susan and thanks Clif "Tucker" for putting out the earlier carving challenge.

Also atatched a picture of Susan's drawing she has posted earlier for reference.

You done the picture justice for sure. Really a nice piece and love the softness in the colors you choosed.

[Coffeeman]

Thanks to all for your nice replies....

Three things that I was tring to learn while doing this carving was;
1) accentuuate the hair line on boths sides of his head and
2) blend the eyebrows into his forhead so I didn't end up with a buldging eyebrow effect and
3) create a wide but healthly looking nose.

He was a fun guy to carve and a great learning experience.
