Head of Goddess with Tulips

bronze (1994)
height: 49"
$4,000 plus foundry cost (last foundry cost for casting was $4,500, but foundry prices can change)
In this shot, you maybe can just make out a couple of the carved tulips. When we finished the patina on the casting, we left it a blue-green, weathered colour everywhere except for the tulip heads, which are polished down to the bronze and so stand out (gently) against the ancient-looking surface. I intended the torso to stop at the neck. But if the forward jut of the neck resembles as well some ancient, mythic bird, I'll accept that interpretation too.
