Dear Art Lover,
Recently
I received a request to enlarge and make a few changes to my original bronze
sculpture “Cattails and Frog Legs” for a pond.
The new composition will be over twice the size of the original piece
for outdoor exhibition. Being a bronze,
the small work will also suit for outdoors; however, it will work better in a
smaller garden, or at least a more intimate space, perhaps a small entryway or
even an interior?
I also
like the frog and lily pad base to be exhibited resting on top of a mirrored
tile. The mirror’s reflections tend to
resemble the effect of water. I have
seen tiles around 12” x 12” and perhaps they are also made in the 18” x 18”
size? Ask for them in your local
hardware or home décor store.
While I
was looking through my images of the smaller bronze sculpture for reference, I
came across this fun picture from when I was casting several bronzes in the
limited edition when I lived and worked in central Texas. It is a box full of newly cast bronze
froggies! They still need to be chased
(a bronze term meaning to remove the bronze sprues and otherwise clean up the
sculpture with metal-working tools).

This bronze is available for only $1500, with the Layaway
Plan available if that interests you. She will ship from Austin, Texas, so if
you send me a mailing address, I can get you a shipping quote as well. You may see more images of “Cattails and Frog
Legs” here:
Thank you for your
interest and I will be showing you images of the new composition in the months
ahead.
