"Wine Thief" Sculpture in Burgundy

New!

Last week the "Wine Thief " one of my Hands of the Artists collection came in with a burgundy patina.

Number 1/10 of this piece was done in a white/rose colored patina at the request of the couple that bought her. It turned out beautiful. This was the first time I have done a white patina and I spent a lot of time with the patina artist at the foundry getting the color right.

Do you know how many "whites" there can be? At first, my white was not his idea of white. But we got on the same page when we discussed the feeling I wanted, the feeling of a Carrara rose marble with fine thin gray/rose veins. His interpretation of this was perfect and the client was thrilled.

Number 2/10 that you see above on the left, is the new one in burgundy. This piece goes to the Cortile gallery in Provincetown, MA. For the east coast, my sculpture in a more classic bronze colors seems to work better and I was anxious to see this one in the darker tones.

Again, the patina artist understood what I envisioned, and did a spectacular job. So now you can have this piece in either patina, and both are elegant visions of the Wine Thief.
