Bronze is the first alloy invented in history! It’s a metal made of 80 - 90% copper and 10 - 20% tin. It is the most popular sculptural material because it expands when hot and shrinks as it cools, which makes it easier to transfer impressions from the mold. The oldest bronze sculpture is thought to be “Dancing Girl from Mohenjodaro,” circa 2500 B.C. Bronze has been made into weapons, statues, monuments, tools, mechanical parts, and many other items since ancient times. 
There’s something special about finding memorabilia with the same theme as your favorite place. This is especially true when you find artwork that features our little ribbon of sand called the Outer Banks.
Despite all the problems we encounter during the day, it’s a blessing to know that nature’s miracle of the sun gives us a colorful show each morning and night. The beauty of art allows us to enjoy it all the time in our homes and spaces.
Shiver me timbers! It’s time for a high-seas adventure in the art world. Blissful painted scenes of sailboats are an old and popular subject, especially in the Outer Banks.
