Carousel Horses and other Creatures

I know, this looks a little odd when viewed with the other things I do but its fun and definitely not what you would call a mainstream hobby. Basically my Dad carves full size carousel horses as a hobby. Although he is a pretty good carver, his painting skills (and color choices) are a bit lacking. I have painted four of his carvings over the years, the last one was done while they were on vacation somewhere and it was a surprise Father's Day gift waiting for him when they got back. So here is the teaser shot, this is the smallest of the bunch and stands about 18" tall at the shoulder. Check the gallery for the horses.
