I wanted try painting something similar to the skulls that have sold without just being skulls, something I could still display at the donut shop without worrying what people might think. So I looked up Koi tatto art to get a better idea as to how the body was shaped how to position it and really just discovered that there is allllll kinds of ways to paint a Koi. Truth be told this Koi is longer and leaner then I ment for her to be, but I think if I had used a bigger canvas it would have turned out more like I was thinking... do you know how hard it is finger paint scales ?? The background I love and the only thing I would change is I would make all the flowers like the one to the upper left corner that is kinda inside the water a bit. I love what dimension it gives it. The title Just keep swimming is kind of a nod to a friend in college that when we were taking a test or something I would say that sometimes and he never let me forget it. He still on any e-mails ends it with Just Keep Swimming.. I will be doing more Koi I think and in time I should get better at them, they are so beautiful and fun to do. Hope you have a great day ;)
