This beautiful design is made in solid foundry bronze using the ancient method of lost wax casting. The design finished by the art of patination where various acids are applied to the surface of the bronze and heat applied to create a deep rich brown patina. The Poppy, foliage and Honey Bee are delicately hand painted in artists oils. Then bronze is then sealed with a special wax which further enhances the colour and protects the bronze for years to come.
Michael Simpson is an unusual sculptor in that his body of work spans a variety of different subjects.  He enjoys working on several sculpts at the same time, moving from one to the next as inspiration dictates.  Michael has the unique ability to design extremely accurately and yet with loose contemporary feel, making his style easily recognized and much appreciated by collectors.
