You should be happy, it looks friggin great!.
Fantastic work! Did you start with a blue/green base coat then dry-brush gold/metallic paint on it?
I can almost hear the shrieking and grinding of his metal!

Thanks!
I primed the bust with flat black, then base coated it with Folk Art Wrought Iron. Sealed that, then applied a soupy wash made with Folk Art Cayman Blue, Bright Green and Vintage White. Wiping it off with a rag as I went. Then I applied bronze wax paste with my finger. When that dried, I buffed it with a soft cloth.
This came out fabulous!
It really looks like it's been outside for years!
A great weathered finish!
Awesome!
Another magnificent piece! You are proving to have quite the skills in different variations of painting.
