Brookgreen Gardens, located in Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina is an accredited museum boasting the the largest and most important collection of American figurative sculpture in existence. I recently returned from there and am still under the spell of beautiful Brookgreen. While the sculpture collection is paramount, the 9,000 acre grounds are an award winning horticulture masterpiece and home to an accredited zoo and aviary. Over the years, I've come to know Brookgreen well
and upon entering the grounds - especially in the early morning - I'm sure to encounter free ranging
Wild Turkeys which is the subject of this and the next two blog posts.
For many years I have visited Brookgreen and continue to know it as an "in the field" experience. . .
a camera and sketchbook is always close by and I've accumulated lots of photos and drawings of Wild Turkeys.
Below, are photos taken last month at Brookgreen.
Below, is a new sculpture entitled "Tom". Also shown, is the clay model in progress before the mold was made.
Additional images are shown of the bronze sculpture during the patina process at the foundry.
The patina was achieved with the following chemicals: Liver of sulfur, cupric nitrate, and ferric nitrate.
