Beautiful work! I agree, leaving the gouge marks was a very good decision.

Very Respectfully,

Magnificent as usual. Your artistic talent is one that I am sure makes most of here on LJ’S jealous. I love this.

Interesting I used to cast a bronze of this very mythological figure when I worked at a foundry. Yours has so much more charator than that one. Nice piece!

Dennis: I agree that the cut are a great part of the surface look.

I like how you kept a rougher texture to his face as he is a rustic subject and the alterations to his features are also appreciated, showing even more how you understand your craft.

A fabulous carving.

Great carving Dennis.
I think I prefer to see the marks of the artist.
They are both arresting and command immediate respect.
Great character in the features.

Thanks
