Default Pete LeClair Bust
This is a Pete LeClair figure that I finished a week or so ago. It's out of his book and I followed his directions and pattern as close as I could except I made his hat a little bigger. Hope you like it.

Good one Joe; no trouble to see the LeClair influnce there. You got the eyes and the teeth right on.
