Today was a day to relax. An hour by the pool, a little walk about, and a little time by the beach. It was too breezy outside to paint, so I dabbled on this "fishscape", using my photo from yesterday at the Temple up on the computer. Adobe Photoshop zoom helped me to see the fish eyes and details a little better.
I started with a watercolor underpainting, then began to add pastel. No time to finish. Had to put it away and pack for tomorrow. We are going to Waimea Falls Park. I wish I could paint faster! So many subjects I would like to paint....

Looking forward to the completion of the koi paiting! It is already very beautiful. I was very surprised to know that there is another Byodo-in temple in Hawaii. I suppose you saw the one in Uji.
Only one word: Perfection!
I admire all your "fishy paintings". I love them, I love the shapes, the colors, the way you paint the water effect... Have a great week, "pastel queen"!
Thank you Kira and Sapphire! I love koi fish. I could sit and watch them for hours. I love their colors and patterns. The Byodo-In temple here in Hawaii was established in 1968 to commemorate the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
They are so bright, colorfull! :)))))))) I love fishes and I love how you paint them! It is always very interesting composition, like a story.
You are master, Carolyn!!!!!!!!!! :))) Hurray!
