The koi that got away….

Reversible Koi

Oil on canvas

Both views from poor quality photo
(the only documentation)


It’s unusual for me to let a painting go without having good documentation

of it first – a slide, 4×5 transparency, or more recently a good photo.

Unfortunately in this case, none of that happened.

It was sold. To Mass General in Boston.

And apparently resides at one of the nurses’ stations in OB-GYN.

I had hoped to track it down – there are many locations where it

could be – but that was before all the Covid restrictions.

Oh well. Someday.

The title is “Reversible Koi” because it is just that, meant to be

hung either way. Hence, I signed it along the left edge.

I don’t remember the dimensions.
