Hand Painted Hummingbrid Bronze

Cleverly, Keith Sherwin has used the long beak of the Hummingbird to support its weight thereby allowing a free and natural feel to his design. This tiny colourful, Ruby Throated Hummingbird, is presented in a wood case with an edition size of just 150. Height: 15cm x Width: 9.5cm x Depth: 6.3cm Weight: 275g Limited Edition: 150 Sculptor: Keith Sherwin The Hummingbird is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design is finished by the art of patination where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create a deep rich brown patina. The bird and foliage are delicately hand painted using artist's oils. The bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.
