Where it works
Koson's praying mantis, a pale green insect climbing a willow strand beneath a large full moon on a soft gray sky, a square print on cream with a caption. Quiet and nearly monochrome, it belongs in a bathroom or meditation corner on white or pale gray paint at 12×18, with his Kingfisher.
