Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
I first found delight in these colorfully patterned symbols of good fortune when my parents added a Koi pond to their home after my father retired from 30 years in the Navy. To my amazement, they would actually allow us to scratch their heads when we fed them. Not only were they beautiful to behold, they became pets as well! So, it was really no surprise to find they were a joy to paint and have even become a fun & treasured lesson to add to my painting classes from time to time...

CONGRATULATIONS ZAN …FEBRUARY 2022 TONY AWARD WINNER!! I chose this beautiful koi painting because these normally frenzied moving carp are slowly gliding …thru…one with the FLOW…much like I suspect you are now enjoying glimpses of fairy lit Tony, gently whispering the Wisdom of his Ancient Aesthetic gathered from hundreds of collective years of artists whose secrets he holds within his heArt chambered scroll… enjoy for now this sweet dalliance… revisiting

Ahh Laurel - always the poet! Thank you for that and this choice for this remarkable moment in time. Koi have a special place in my heart when they were added to pond my Father built as symbols of good fortune.

Laurel, again I am grateful for your insightful reflections on my art pieces! It is particularly fun for me too in your catch of our simpatico journey - it is a delight to find like souls in this life as an artist ;-)) I encourage others with that thirst to connect and examine their journey in the arts to check out your “WHAT’s the BUZzz (WTB) SERIES“ of contests and the behind the scenes discussions - thought provoking and worth the perusal! As for EMOTIONALISM - yesssss indeed - I look forward to it!

ZAN, SO grateful for your behind the scenes BUZzz about Imitationalism! Your entries each address reflections of the beauty around you and while your aesthetic evolution, like mine, has morphed into heavily laced impressionist consideration…it still nods to the elements and principles. We will both enjoy EMOTIONALISM, though…yes?..:-)
