Koi Study No. 7

'Koi Study No. 7' is part of a series which captures the beauty and energetic life force of the Koi fish. Koi fish are known for their ability to swim against the current and travel upstream, which Japanese culture commemorates; they are symbolic of perseverance and good fortune. From our elevated perspective, we are able to view the calming blue ripples created from the dynamism of the strikingly orange fish. This painting appears as a fixed moment in time, yet it actively feeds into our imagination and fascination.
