"Transparency"
30x30 Acrylic on Canvas

After completing Jean’s paintings, I wanted to do another koi pond version, using my own creative spin. This kind of inspiration normally occurs after commissioned projects. While painting another’s concept of beauty, my mind often wanders to things I would do differently, along with incorporating the unique ideas we shared. As you can see from the previous post, I added more lines in the water and faint shadows under two of the koi. I placed a dragonfly atop one of the flowers, enlarged the fish, and added swirling white lines in the water. This painting is busier and brighter than what my customer desired. There is no right or wrong… Art is just a matter of opinion.
