Default Self Portrait
I just finished this guy today...he's actually somewhat of a self portrait...note the word somewhat! He was carved from scratch (no pattern) from a 2" x 2" x 12" block of basswood, painted with acrylic paints, and antiqued with a BLO/Mineral Spirits antiquing medium. Finally, the carving was sealed with a spray matte finish.

All comments and critiques appreciated!

You certainly have a sly little grin there Bob. I'm sure that car was only driven by a little ol lady on Sundays..
