Koi & Botanicals Diptych (2) 36 x 36

These paintings measure 36 x 36 x 2.25 inches each. (The two must be sold together).  I begin with graphite drawing on the wood surface, adding multiple layers of oil paint, washes, glazes, and metal-leaf.  Each of my paintings has about 30 layers.  The edges of this painting are also leafed.
