Working Dog (in progress)

 I found this old statue one day while digging for treasure. He was in pretty rough shape, covered in muck and several layers of paint. I stripped it down removing almost all of the paint... reshaped some of his body and created a replacement tail.






Once all of the cleaning and repair work was done, I slowly started adding more and more objects. The saddle was the first item. Most everything here is riveted into place. Layer upon layer was added to create depth and a sort of loose narrative.

Now, I am trying to make up my mind if I want to add a figure sitting on the saddle. What do you think?

I've not settled on a title yet either.

The conclusion is not far away!
