Hey, when your running on 5 cups of Java anythings possible.

Living jewels, indeed!

The colors are beautiful, Ellie! I've been staring at it for a few minutes. It's certainly captured my eye! Unlike most other boring koi paintings, (well, not all of them are exactly BORING... But they all look the same, y'know?) this one has a lot of personality. Very well done! :+fav:

Hmm... Do you take requests? :D

Oh that is awesome. You captured movement and color very good.

The clouds are now my unseen wings,
The winds under them my hidden dreams,
Dull the sun; send the rain,
Take the sky, the ground my bane.
My shadowed wings stretch to reach the moon...

Awesome! I've always wanted a koi pond, but my cat likes to eat them...

Thanks Bobsicool! :)

This is a very beautiful painting, very serene but active at the same time. Are you using a Fredrick's round canvas or did you make your own? And it appears actually fairly decently sized, how big is it?

I'd go into things like color harmony, the flow of objects, the interesting sylization of the lilypads vs. the not quite so stylized patterns on the koi, but I think you already know what I'm going to say :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I think it is a Fredricks canvas. My husband had these 4 circular canvases in the attic for some time for something he was going to do but did not, and he does not remember where he bought them from. :D The size is 44 inchesx44 inches.
