Windstone Editions \"Copper Patina\" Curled Dragon For Sale

Windstone EditionsCurled Dragon – Copper Patina
Warts and all “Copper Patina” Curled Dragons. These Curled Dragons are pieces that had slight casting defects. Normally we would have destroyed these, but we have devised a way to make use of otherwise perfectly good dragons by painting them with a textured “distressed antique” finish that enhances the surface flaws with patina and makes them beautiful. A few random scales are highlighted with brighter gold or copper, which resembles fall leaves. We all think they are gorgeous; they look like weathered cast bronze. We have given this batch teal eyes and blue ziron jewels. These dragons vary slightly in texture and color because every one of these dragons is an individual. These are unsigned limited production.
These are individually hand-painted and markings may vary very slightly. You may find that different lighting displays the colors differently as well. This is a cast gypsum reproduction of an original sculpture by Melody Peña produced by Windstone Editions. For indoor display only.
Weight: 1.5 lbs | Dimensions: 2.5” L x 3” W x 2” H

About Us
Since 1984, museum-quality reproductions of Melody Peña\'s sculptures have been perfectly cast in natural mineral stone and meticulously hand-painted in our North Hollywood, California studios (now relocated to Corvallis, Oregon). At the heart of every piece created by master sculptor M. Peña is the artist\'s passion for living creatures. This passion, coupled with a lifelong study of animal behavior and anatomy, and an astonishing gift for three-dimensional art, results in sculpture so intriguing and lifelike it is without equal. Growing up in California, Peña surrounded herself with animals. Keeping more than two dozen aquariums in her childhood bedroom, a pet toad in a wastebasket, and a chicken in a bucket, her collection of pets soon became the subjects of her artwork. In college, Peña studied biology and zoology in addition to painting, drawing, and sculpture. Today, the artist is never far from her animals--they are the living well from which Peña draws inspiration and the models for the incredibly accurate detail in her work.
