Nice paintwork on the quilt and the shirt. You certainly have the civil war bust down pat. Joe.

Mark - fabulous work as always!

A quilt has got to be hard to carve much less paint and yours looks fantastic.

Can't get over how cool your Santa's look!

You did good! Looks like you're experimenting with more paint colors than usual. I guess after a few hundred of red, white & flesh colored Santas, adding a few more colors could be refreshing.
