Most bronzes are available with a rotating base. All coloration is a result of the application of chemicals; no paint is used except for an occasional marking on a horse's face. Custom patinas are available as well as traditional, although certain ones might affect the price. A wide variety of patinas are possible nowadays but since chemicals are being used, exact matches to certain colors are not always possible. If you desire, email a photo of your horse and Kristi will come as close as possible to matching it. If you choose a bronze but like the patina of another, Kristi will do the bronze in that patina. A down payment of half the price is required and is non-refundable. The balance is due upon completion, usually in ten to twelve weeks. In some cases the artist will accept monthly payments until the down payment is reached; this will assure you that the bronze is being held for you in case the edition becomes sold out and is no longer available.
