“Chiefs of the Wind” Now in Bronze!
This is definitely a signature piece for me. Originally, this bold meeting of the two ’Chiefs’ was offered for purchase in pre-cast last year at Huey’s Fine Art in Santa Fe. It’s always wonderful to finally see the culmination of 9 months of hardwork. This, of course, is the study size, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s small! The piece itself measures 48 inches tall and has a maximum depth of 30 inches. It is a Bronze edition of 20. Last year in pre-cast we sold 9 of these beautiful pieces. This year, even while it was being molded and cast, we sold a few more! I have a feeling the rest of the edition will sell out fast now that the Bronze casting and Patina work are complete. We are right now filling our orders, and by June we should have a Bronze available to see at Huey’s Fine Art in Santa Fe. I hope you will come see this extrordinary piece for yourself. Once again, I sincerely thank all my clients and collectors for their continued support!
Below are additional shots of the patina as it was being completed, and a few additional photos of the final piece as well. Also check out my latest youtube video “Chiefs of the Wind”.
