Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving drawings of houses with some scratching and staining

with some scratching and staining to the slate

which is much aged but still retaining some of its glorious lapis blue paint

and with the most phenomenal surface

but even more so because I think the painting itself is just terrific--very tender

Head on Block Body, Evocative Old Unfinished Carving drawings of houses with some scratching and stainingAnother little carving, this one I presume unfinished, but I very much like him this way, with just a block of a body to match his straight ahead facing little carved head. Pine I believe, with a warm dry wood patina and warm presence. 5 1 8" t x 1 3 4" w x 1" d and in good condition, stands steady on its own.
