This item has been sold but I can re-create it, or make one customized for you. A modern, industrial, or contemporary piece of metal art. This sculpture was made out of different square or rectangular shaped pieces of metal that were welded together. A torch was then used to add color to it by heating then metal. It was then covered with two coats of a satin clear coat paint. This would look great on a desk, surrounded by flowers, or as a focal point by itself. It would also look great as a piece of outdoor art as it develops its patina. In February 2015 I entered this piece in the Fredericksburg Art Show and Sale and it took first place in the 3D sculpture category. Here is what the judge had to say: "It exists within the tradition of sculpture, it is formal by nature, uses patinas and cut shapes to explore surface, scale and space, but also has a forward movement that is in contrast to the stationary quality of the geometric square." The piece is approximately 24 inches tall, 18 inches wide and weighs about 15 pounds. Please check my other listings for more abstract metal sculptures. My goal is to re-purpose, re-use, or recycle as many items as possible in my work.

I am a retired Army Engineer Diver and reside near Fredericksburg, VA. I have been working with wood or metal for over 30 years. I enjoy looking at a piece of material and seeing what it can be changed into instead of its original purpose.
I make unique items out of scuba diving tanks, scrap metal, and anything I can find so that I re-purpose, re-use or recycle as much material as possible. My goal is to have 90% of the material in my projects be items that were destined for the scrap yard or trash.
Whether it is a one of a kind engraved scuba tank, abstract sculpture, lamp, or piece of yard art, please allow me to work with you to make your vision come to life.

For Large Bell Or GongPositively-Absolutely-Talented (PAT) that's Pat! It was a very rewarding experience working with him. He took my cryptic drawings and information and turned them into a masterpiece. I've already asked him about working on another project for me. Thanks Pat, I really appreciate your talent and time. You're the best!!

For Clock Tower Sculpture ProjectPat did a great job and really worked hard to make sure the end result was what we were looking for. His willingness to learn and work with another artist was much appreciated. Even though the clock tower isn't fully complete Pat's portion of the project turned out great. I highly recommend using Pat for metal work.

For Outdoor pteradactyl sculpture ProjectWe haven't received the Pteradactyl sculpture yet, but believe we will love it due to Pat's continuous updates with images, questions and confirmations. This was our first Custom Made project, as well as Pat's. He is a great person to work with, a real artist. I recommend him for steel renditions.
