Small Woodspirit character

[Irishman]

Had some small logs around the shop that were starting to dry out...as you can see from the spalding...and I basically let my imagination take over. I wanted to experiment with different hair, brows, mustache and beard and this is what I came up with. He is around 15 inches high and carved into birch. This is probably one of my fastest carvings I have done in a while as I didn't care how he turned out. I even tried different camera exposures for affect.

Hi Patrick,
Even though you said he was done quickly, I'd still be able to pick him out of a line-up as being done by you, has that "Patrick" look, which is fantastic. Great job on this "little" woodspirit.
