Deer picture

[Dale]

Since Clay posted his deer, I thought I'd post the one I finished a couple weeks ago. No frills...just carved it and painted it.

Very nice, Dale! I especially like the coloring of the sky -- fading from blue to white (or white to blue). . . Is it all colored with acrylic paints?

That's fine work, Dale. Nice job on both the carving and the paint.

For those of you who will be going to the IFoLG show in Butler, PA, Dale's picture can be seen at the Pikes Peak Pounders leather guilds display table. It's worth it to stop and see.

Yup...all acrylic.

I had the opportunity to take a class from Robert Beard a couple months ago. The subject for the class was a cliff dwelling ruin. We didn't have time in class to color our projects, but Bob told us a little about how he colored his original. I would never have thought to use different colors in the sky but Bob did and it is very effective. Like Dale did, Bob went from white to blue. Bob took it one step farther and went from blue to violet. The different colors give the sky depth.

Nice job on your deer Dale. I am sure it looks even better in person.
