SLC Temple Doors II

This is my new (and much better) version of the SLC Temple doors (size: 14x23).  A lot went into this rendition (original seen below), and a lot goes into the prints (above).  Like before each is printed on either cavas or a quality art paper then gold-leafed by hand, box-mounted, painted, signed and glossed.  Luckily, due to new materials and increased efficiency, I've cut my prices quite a bit.  They are now only $150.  The price can be altered depending on size, gloss levels and surface (canvas, paper, etc.) The craftsmanship is always enjoyable to look at, but their real quality is in the special spirit they can bring by their presence in a room.           

 The original is in the private collection of Connie and Lothaire Bluth
