#138 In the foundry: Quail . . .

During patina, the bronze is heated and chemicals are applied

Most of last week was spent in patina at the foundry finishing the California Quail presentation piece for the Autry Museum Show next month:  The sculpture will be presented to the trustees and other prominent individuals .

I was honored to be the sculptor selected to do the work by
John Geraghty, Trustee and Special Advisor to the Autry National Center's Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale, held February 3 & 4, 2012.

True patrons of the arts exist 

 and I know two of the finest:  

Saralynn and John Geraghty.

Additional chemicals are applied with heat which enriches the patina.
