Koi Carp
Oil on Canvas
24″x30″ inches
(Commissioned)
I absolutely love this finished piece of three koi carp. It wasn’t an easy one to complete, I started this painting with an idea of a light background. After attempting to get a flattering spectrum of colours within the water glistens the colour just did not pop enough. A black background was suggested which made a huge different immediately. The colours were brought together and more framed and flattered, in keeping with the elegance of the movement of the fish.
I like the rainbow streaks in the background. They also add a sense of depth to the water.
