This amazing bronze bust was sculpted by my friend and fine artist, Carol Smith. I had the pleasure of accompanying Carol to the bronze foundry in Bastrop, Texas where I enjoyed a tour of the foundry. After seeing the process of artist's clay sculpture to wax to bronze, Carol and I got to observe the patina artisan putting the gorgeous finishing patina on Martin. He is mounted on a black granite base. This is Carol's second bronze sculpture, see her bust of John Calvin that was posted on my blog on December 1, 2012.
