This dog was my first attempt at carving an animal.
I also used a different method for the first time on finishing him.  I
did not seal after carving, but instead, painted straight to the wood.
I named him Conan, which is Scottish for "wee dog".
Once again, starting with a blank
cut-out.
Just about half way completed.
With the dog, I painted with an
acrylic paint wash.  Then
finished with boil linseed oil.
I like the way colors came out
using this method.
