Description
The intense black of the Blackbird contrasts beautifully with the pinks of the Blossom, and is sitting at the very highest point of the branch where it can sing it’s heart out. The beak and eyes are delicately hand painted in the natural yellow tone of the bird, and the whole sculpture is boxed in a fine wood case.

The Blackbird 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. Then bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.
Your beautiful Blackbird is beautifully presented in a wooden presentation box containing a signed certificate of authenticity. The bronze is engraved with the sculptor’s signature and limited edition number, matching the certificate enclosed.
