Here's a dramatic accent piece for those wh enjoy the Koi!
These two koi enjoy circling each other in a secure pond, safe from the herons. The vivid reds, black and white stand in contrast to the deep colbalt blue of the pond. This is the intepretation of respected artist, Patricia Bell. She enjoys exploring the subtle distinctions and vivid contrasts of color and light found in the outdoors. Patricia, born in 1933, now lives in Warwickshire, England and continues to paint in both England and France.
It's a very dramatic scene presented on a 12" x 12" art tile, hand-painted with brilliant colors, and finished with complex glazes. The procedure is labor intensive, and requires kiln firing in excess of 2000 degrees! Hairlines or crazings under the glaze on the tile is part of the art style, and is normal to the glazing process. The back is finished with Royal Blue velvet and a hanging hook, allowing you to feature the art in your home decor.
"Koi Duo" is a brand-new tile in near-perfect condition that was featured in a show-room display, Therefore, the original Benaya packaging has been replaced with my new packaging. The result is that you will receive a 37% discount from the retail price normally found in stores! Enjoy!
