Koi Pond I - A Work in Progress

This is a small piece I started using a limited palette of black, white, Hansa yellow and alizarin crimson.

I applied the paint with a palette knife trying to create movement in the painting. After setting the piece aside to dry, when I came back to look at it I could see koi swirling around in the water as though they were coming up to the surface to feed.














I will post this painting once I have added the fish into the painting.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.
