As always, your advise is invaluable! I guess, for now, my style is unfinished work... mainly because I am not yet schooled or experienced in all things "finished." Actually, I really do like a natural, weathered, oiled rust-bloom look. It looks so natural, so metal... so artmetal. I will do as you suggest, and give him the "oiled or waxed" options. What ever his present, or future desires may be, I'm willing to occomadate him. He's my first customer... his dollar is the one I'll have framed and hanging in my studio. I'll also enclose a letter with care instructions.
And you're right, figured per hour I'm practically giving this piece away, but as I said in an email to him:
I give my heart and soul to my metal art. It is my passion. For the time I spent on the torso, I'm really giving it away... but what's important to me is that my art is out there with someone who appreciates it.
Thanks again, J.R.
