Koi Fish in progress
I have been out and about doing other things, so when I'm home I started a studio painting. I have had the photo for years and have been wanting to do this so long! I am using pastel on La Carte (Salmon colored). I am not a professional photographer, but there was enough detail in the ripples and bubbles for me to study and try to reproduce here. This will be a fun learning painting! I bet my friend Liz would like to turn this into a needlepoint!

Perfect shapes and lovely colours so far!!! This is so different to all the flowery paintings you showed us lately.
It is a wonderful composition! Fish! I do love fish, especially looking on them in your pictures! They are always very graceful in your paintings! Circles on the water, wet backs - all this creates an atmosphere of water area. I would now dive swim with them! This is great, Carolyn! Wonderful work, waiting for the continuation! :-))))
While I appreciate the abstract aspects of this, and your pastel technique, I am NOT a fish person! I think they're icky! So Liz won't be doing a needlepoint of this one :-)
Oh Liz, LOL, you are too funny. So that makes two things I know you DON'T like: flowers and fish!
