About the Item

Near the entrance, a patch of tall grass. Near the tall grass, long-stemmed plants; each bending an ear-shaped cone to the pond’s surface. If you looked closely, you could make out silvery koi swishing toward the clouded pond’s edge where a boy tugs at his mother’s shirt for a quarter. To buy fish feed. And watching that boy, as he knelt down to let the koi kiss his palms, I missed what it was to be so dumb as those koi. I like to think they’re pure, that that’s why even after the boy’s palms were empty, after he had nothing else to give, they still kissed his hands. Because who hasn’t done that— loved so intently even after everything has gone? Loved something that has washed its hands of you? I like to think I’m different now, that I’m enlightened somehow, but who am I kidding? I know I’m like those koi, still, with their popping mouths, that would kiss those hands again if given the chance. So dumb. :: Painting :: Abstract :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: No :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Lower right hand corner :: Watercolor Paper :: Portrait :: Original :: Framed: No
