Above is the highly detailed 18" high clay model of the U.S. Military Working Dog Teams National Monument.  Below is an in-progress photo of the Patina artist heating the bronze with a propane blow torch while brushing on different chemicals that interact with the hot metal to create this complex "fancy patina".  Then wax is applied to seal the patina and give this museum quality limited edition bronze sculpture added protection and luster.

18" high "lost wax" bronze model of the U.S. Military Working Dog Teams National Monument.  I will sculpt this National Monument at one and a half times life size.  The bronze  monument will include extensive granite and landscaping.  For more information about this very important and long overdue National Monument please click on www.jbmf.us
