Description
A large carp with burnished scales swims horizontally through the composition, framed by delicate kelp fronds and decorative circular forms rendered in naturalistic detail. The piece employs a classical natural history illustration style, with warm earth tones, deep greens, and coral red accents contained within a double-lined border that suggests a centuries-old scientific study. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
