Your hobo looks like a well fed hobo. What color did you use to paint his face. He looks great.

Excellent likeness, where'd you get the picture of me??

Great job on the hobo. Big Al

He is about 10-1/2 inches without the base; yes, I like my hobos well fed.

I used (Americana) flesh and bright red; both were applied as washes.

Ed, you can't look like all my carvings; someday I will just have to do a caricature of you.

Thanks, Rick

Another 'Ace' of a hobo, Rick! I really enjoy seeing your work.

I wonder if hobos are such popular topics for woodcarvers because of personal histories of carvers or maybe it is our genes? Whatever the reason I enjoy their company on my shelf.
