KOI


KOI


This small drawing is a bit of a combination.  I used a lot of colored pencil, and a tiny bit of watercolor.  After the fact, I should have been more bold with the watercolor and less with the pencil.  That will be another project, I suppose! I drew this with my daughter in mind.  When she was 17, she had a goldfish that was most unusual.  It would rearrange it's tank daily.  By that I mean that it would spend hours moving the little plastic gems in the tank back and forth on the sandy floor.  First it would move them to the front, then push them all the way to the back.  I don't know if that is normal for a fish, but it kept my daughter highly amused, and will eventually be the subject of a children's book for me.
