Artist: Andy White. Title: Wilson's Snipe. Artwork size: 12" x 4" x 8". Frame: N/A. Medium: Acrylic on hand-carved tupelo. Artist's description: A decoy carver for over 15 years, this is my first time carving the handsome and illusive snipe. Yes, snipe DO exist and yes, they even sit on fence posts. This bird was incredibly fun to paint and it is carved "decoy style" where the legs aren't carved but are represented by a dowel meant to be shoved into the ground wherever the hunter deploys the decoy spread. In this case I used bamboo for the legs since the bamboo naturally had the right coloration and the "joint" resembles the knee joint on the real bird. I'm very pleased with the result of this carving even though it's a departure from what I normally do.
