I have been working on the wolf and details. Any suggestions and hints on painting would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Debbie,

That's looking really good. I'm going to follow this extra closely because I'm trying to learn how to paint. All I've done so far is use cherry stain on my Indian's face.

Thanks to you all for the kind words of encouragement. I will keep you all up to date as I progress. Hopefully I will be able to complete the carving this week or next and then start the painting process. I haven't painted anything but my Santa's before so, this should be a learning experience for me.
