Patina of Life

A stampede of horses captured their thunderous strides frozen a magnificent scene unfolds within a rich patina of bronze. Artisan expression brazen and bold molding a stunning scene of nature sparking the depths of imagination to be appreciated indefinitely. Run wild, you beautiful beasts over the endless prairies of time flaring nostrils, flowing manes away from that unseen threat hooves beating upon the ground a statuesque scene created reflected within that immortal patina of life.

Thank you so much, Connie! I’ve always wanted to do sculpture and someday I will! I actually play piano, and have done some sketching. Hugs! :)

Thoughts of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands in Virginia came to mind when I read this delightful work.
