Nancy,

Great job, love the pose and base. I bet the challenge you had was dealing with its overall size, as compared to your past carvings, being mostly small carvings. No flaws from my perspective. Bill

Looks good to me. Being happy with what you can do can be hard. But it's harder to be happy with it and still try to make it better. Great job.

Forgive me Nancy, ARE YOU NUTS?
That is a fine looking Lemur carving and I thought you capture Zooboomafoo and had him stuffed.

Love it.

Well, gee, thanks everybody. Maybe he is better than I think huh? I think I have looked at it for so long I probably can't see it as others do. The size was hard to do, especially with the way the feet are, it couldn't be stood up for letting paint dry or just looking at to get a better prespective on. There is a show on the 17th so I will see what happens there I'm now doing what so far I think of as an easier project, a half size Toy Fox Terrier. Something domestic for a change

I have not tried airbrushing. Can diluted acrylics be used in one?

Who is Zooboomafoo ? Like the name.

Hi Nancy, I'm with Colin, you had me looking for flaws. But I couldn't find any. Feel free to send it to me and I'll give it a closer look. Honestly it looks good.
