Interpretive Carving - Great Blue Heron







I picked up a piece of cedar root from a Carolina root seller at the World Carving Competition last year. He had so many choices, but I had to fit what ever I bought in my suitcase. When I saw this piece of wood, I knew it would work and an idea of what I wanted to do with it. I might make a few changes next time I try this style but the carving and painting were fun.


The Base is still in the clay design stage, but a friend just cut down a walnut in his yard and slab of it will go to good use. It's Painted in Oils.
