Peter, how wonderful that you have that opportunity. And the picture is great. I hope you don't mind that I saved it for future reference.

Thanks, Ron T. Reliefs can look really weird if you don't look at them from the front.

Thank you Forrest. I wish you were painting these cats instead of me. I hate these spots.

The circle behind is just the "mounting". When I carved the elephant I did it separately and then attached it to a background. This time I decided to just make the background part of the carving. Now I just have to figure out what I want to do with it. hahaha

Hi Joy, it's a sweet moment and you carved it well. Please let us see it again after you paint it.

Joy, it looks like it's ready to jump out of the picture already - can't wait to see it painted! Great job!!!

Thank you Kathy, it may take me as long to paint as it did to carve. Remind me never to attempt "spots" again.
