"Pine BlueBird"

[tnartist05]

I knew I had a new pine board somewhere and I found it this morning and carved this cute{folk art type}not a real looking bluebird from it. The pine board was 3/4 X 3 1/2 inches. The bird is 5/8 thick by 4 inches and from the top of the bird to the bottem of the old fence post is 6 inches. Painted with acrylics. It stands up alone.

As always your thoughts or comments are more than welcome.

I am very fond of blue birds and this one looks cute now, but it's on the watch for any bug that flies into it's territory.
Great little carving, Forrest, I think it captures the little spirit of the hunter well.

Thor, I dont know really if hes a hunter but I sure am?? Soon I will take him to a shoppe I have my work in and I'll let him hunt for a new home! LOL

Im gald you like little blue birds and hes not really realistic but just a fun carving for me this morning. Now all I have to worry about is what Im cooking for supper? Made a great meatloaf last night.

Thanks again Thor for stopping to view this little bluebird and your good thoughts.

Nice job Forrest and fast too!

some times those quick projects go over better than a carving that takes a lot of time and the great thing about folk art carvings is that there are no rules
