The National Sculpture Society 77th Annual Awards Exhibition will be held exclusively at Brookgreen Gardens from August 7 to October 31, 2010. The venue length has been expanded to nearly three months in order to provide greater exposure for this important exhibition of sculpture by significant artists of today. The awards of the National Sculpture Society will be presented along with Brookgreen Gardens’ People’s Choice Award at the closing celebration on October 30.

I am really happy with this new patina. I did quite a bit of experimenting for this monument. I am really pleased with the results — an old-world bronze blueish hue with some more contemporary brightness and opacity that lets the form and expression show thru. Thanks to Sculpt Nouveau for the special blending and to Rafael G that master patineur.
