This 6 x 6 handcrafted tile captures the quiet beauty of a bat gliding through a moonlit sky. Bold black wings stretch across a field of deep cobalt blue, punctuated by glowing orbs of moon and starlight. Framed in rich quarter-sawn oak, the design radiates both simplicity and depth — a small but striking piece of art ready to display.
The image originates from Charley Harper’s Bat, Bullfrog, and Bonfire, first published in Ford Times magazine in 1968. In the original print, Harper distilled the life of a Kentucky summer night into geometric forms and playful shapes. Motawi re-imagined one moment from that composition, shifting the palette from muted grays to blues and golden yellows, creating a tile alive with color.
