Koi Pond Dreams

I’ve been trying to work on some small painting pieces whenever I’m stressed to build up my stock of random art for happy mail or STS in the fall.

This was originally supposed to be abstract blobs but then I got a little enthusiastic with my water glazes and blending and decided I wanted a water lilly pond instead. But after I had my water lillies I still wasn’t happy. So I added some koi. I might end up keeping this one for myself because I love it so much and it’s so peacful.

4x3" watercolor & gouache on coldpress watercolor paper.

So pretty! Watching fish is really relaxing. And this is so well done- I can see why you want to keep it!

If you don’t keep it, PLEASE put this in STS. I want it to badly! I have a koi pond and love them. This is amazing!!!

It is very restful and yet not simple or lacking in detail. NICE!

Lovely! I think the ripples in the pond are my favorite detail.

that’s a calm and peaceful scene :slight_smile:
I love it when random blobs tell us what they really want to be.
