Al out-of-doors


I've hung the finished bust facing West, towards an unkempt woodlot echoeing sounds of jays, hawks and coyotes. The work is sprayed with several layers of commercially available paint to bring out a metallic patina as an experiment to see if its appearance and physical integrity will be maintained throughout the coming Winter.
I hope the stern look of this rural poet can keep the wind and snow at bay.
