Country Gnome

[tnartist05]

Id found this chunk of pine in a junk store last year sometime. Being gone with that art show last wk from Thurs-Sunday,I just had to try in carve something and I found this odd peice of wood,Id had in my art room.{Id forgotten I had it}LOL

I didnt really know what this guy looked like after Id carved him,maybe a country gnome?? If Id had a band saw I could have cut out a country type of hat in the block then carved it, which would have been better than the one I came up with!

Hes 1 1/2" X 9 " X 13 "

Feel free to comment,they are always welcome. Thks Forrest

Now he's got character! Quite a set of teeth in that grin. Not sure about the Gnome but he's a country bumkin of some sorts. Very expressive face - your paint job is great as well as the carving.

I like the hat just the way it is, and the eyes are simply amazing. What a fun project.

Gnomes are generally happy. This fellow don't look too happy. Could be he just found out he's a troll......Tom H

Hi Forrest,how did the Art Show go? I'll bet when you do your carvings the Chips fly. My friend, you are fast. Another Great piece. Merle

Next time ya go to the dentist, be sure to take that with you, I'll just bet he'll make you a good offer for that one. Well done, I'm almost positive it's one of a kind for sure.

He could be any of those, Forrest....gnome, troll or country bumpkin....and his eyes are outstanding. They are beautiful! As always, your paint job enhances your carving tremendously. I don't know how you do it! Bonnie
