RE: A commissioned sculpture for the town of Colonial Beach Virginia (USA).
Who will be doing the patina, you or the foundry?
Looking forward to the end result Kathleen.

@leoplaw, here are the sculptures leaving the foundry with their dark green patina (done by the foundry guy). The photo is not a good one, and I never got any photos of the pieces installed. Thinking I should probably contact the town and ask for some in situ photos.
What???!!! Quick sticks, phone / email the town. That's great promotional material.
These two are looking mighty fine in their patina.
Aw thanks @leoplaw. I called the U.S., and they haven't installed them yet.
makes me wonder: did you do it there or ship it? I am almost guessing the later, since shipping something like that must cost more than actually going there yourself.
Yes Otto we used a shipping company. It was an expensive project - about $90,000 if I remember correctly. Over half of the money went for casting, shipping, supplies, paying models, assistants...It is thanks to this project that I was able to build my new studio.
