4th of July summer folk art WATERMELON character

DESCRIPTION: 4th of July summer folk art WATERMELON character! He's standing there with outstretched arms and cute black mitten style hands. Those eyes are glossed up as well as the top of that juicy watermelon. The black shoes match his mittens. The base is red and blue and crafted from wood. He stands almost 3 inches tall and with outstretched arms, 4 inches across.  Signed original art!  All artwork is original hand painted with layers of paint, sealed with stain and a light coating of beeswax. Each character starts off as a sketch then I build an armature. I add clay, the clay and its processed then painted with layers of paint. None of the pieces I create are reproduced. All artwork on this site and my Etsy shop are one of a kind pieces. ARTIST: I am a long time artist of over 25 years in the same medium of clay art. My background includes thousands of these characters all unique and one of a kind pieces. Past successful reproduction line with companies Enesco and Dept 56. Startin
