Bottle Stoppers - renewed

I found a couple of bottle stoppers that I carved about 5 years ago and decided that I didn't like the way they looked. Too square and blocky, with no character. I re-carved them leaving the ears, nose and hair lines, at least most of it. The front ended up with a whole new look. While I prefer to use a linseed oil coating for most of my work now, I left enough of the original paint on these that I needed to repaint these also. The looks are about a 100% improvement, so I'm happier with them. Oh, yes, I would still do things differently if I started over, but I don't always have time for that and fixing them presented a nice challenge. Neither of these had been seen by anyone, as I kinda hid them away until now.
