Bronze Portrait Sculpture of Champion Horse

The long and intense process to make a portrait of an individual animal - a Champion Horse and cast  the sculpture into Bronze has finished and the lovely Bronze is ready.

This gorgeous bronze is going to be a limited edition available in various options of colour/patination. Contact JOEL at the Tenon Studio for details.

So glad and excited at the hand over of this special birthday gift to celebrate the special birthday! Here the husband who helped all through the commission hands over to the birthday girl.

Great response and lovely comments from the one who knows that horse the best.
