St. Jude, after restoration, and St. Joseph after repainting

The original poly-chroming on the wooden St. Jude (left) statue had been damaged/removed by improper cleaning. St. Joseph, (right),  had been stained and varnished, after removing the historic finish by a volunteer parishioner. The client asked me to recreate St. Joseph's finish (right), to match St. Jude's (left) restored polychroming.
