Description
A squat toad rendered in mottled gray tones dominates this composition, its textured skin rendered with careful stippling and line work against a warm cream ground. The frog's enormous circular belly is left blank and white, while its downturned mouth curves into an unmistakable frown, creating an expression of sullen displeasure, with a red seal stamp marking the upper left corner in the style of classical Japanese printmaking. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
