Three Totally Different Portrait Projects

[FrankEV]

First is a 11” x 12” Russ Beard Pattern that I cut well over a year ago, simply called “Leopard”.   Coloration was done using Artis Oil paints at that time.  However, I was not happy with how it looked, so it sat on the shelf.  I only revisited it a short time ago and with some improved painting skills I have developed and a little work with the paint brush, I believe it now looks better.   Its been some time so I’m guessing, but I think the cut panel is 5/32” solid core Maple which has now been affixed to a painted black ¼” BB ply backer.   The Fame is 1 3/4” Pine with a black Lacquer finish.  I think he has his eyes on you!

 

The second is a “Wile E Coyote – Standing” image I converted into an 11”x 17” scroll saw pattern.   Since my previous “Wile” project left my collection for a new home rather quickly, I decided to fill the void with another, but of course, a different pose.  The cut panel is 5/32” solid core Birch, hand painted with Artist Acrylic Paints.  The frame is also 1 3/4” pine with a primed and painted gloss Black Finish.

 

The third is also of a free, non-credited image, simply called “Sketch of a Sailboat” that I converted into an 11” x 17” scroll saw pattern.  I found this image, although very raw, very intriguing and works very well as a piece of Scroll Saw Art.  The cut panel is 5/32" solid core Maplet hat was left natural and only the backer was hand painted with Artist Acrylic Paints.  The frame is once again 1 3/4” pine with a primed and painted gloss Black Finish.

 

All cuting was done with various Pegas regular and spiral blades and all assembled panels were protected with multiple coats of clear Gloss Lacquer.

My work has been coming in groups because I tend to leave the frame making until I can do more than one. 

Comments and critiques always welcome.

Yea the "sketchy sailing" might do well in Florida as long as the water is calm. That is No huricanes clouds in the picture.

Wiley is always liked good cartoons after school.

But I like cats so the leapord is my favorite.

Wow that leopard is amazing.  Wile E Coyote put a smile on my face .  I am not into sailing but it looks terrific.  All in all, well done.

I can for just the sailboat.  Watch for it in a little while.

Very nice work as usual, Frank. The leopard eyes seem to follow you.
