having fun with some new koi
one of the biggest challenges is editing the photographs for this blog.I seem
to have to choose between accurate red-orange-yellow warmth
over blue-green cooler colors.
Difficult choice at best.
It’s worse when I shoot the paintings in the studio as in the case with this
one.
24×24 oil on canvas
this looks nothing like the actual painting!
The actual colors are sensuous orange and vermilions and subtle
ultramarines.
But, this is the best I can do for now. 🙁
I wish I had that beautiful pond and stunning koi in my backyard!

thanks, Dale. these koi don’t require fussy ph water levels or feeding 🙂
You are the master of koi. It just is so vibrant. You have mastery of pallet and composition. I love how you paint water; just exquisite .
thank you Rob! I have been drawn to water ever since I can remember.
Am still living and working near the water which lifts me up and fuels my soul every single day.
