Koi and Lotus
I'm so behind on getting new works online. The painting above is from Spring 2010, and I still need to put the backing on the rice paper.
I used watercolors for the carp's body and background. Using a traditional sumi-e brush, I drew the scales and koi with sumi ink.
Sunday Sketches is hosted on Sophia's blog. It's my weekly inspiration that gets me revved up for the week!

This is beautiful, very lovely!
Oh, I love the colors, Juana! There's such a playfulness, happiness and beautiful fluidity to this motif. I loved doing sumi-e once-upon-time--I should revisit that. Thanks, again for the newsletter love. I have sent it off to you today--enjoy! :o) Happy Week ((HUGS))
