Artwork Description

I have kept fish most of my life, the obssesion came from my grandfather who had a fish room when I was young and I would love going to visit and sitting in the room watching all the fish and helping clean the tanks etc. My grandfather is 87 and he still keeps fish. After having a few years away from fish keeping we recently bought three fish tanks and I have a goldfish tank right next to my easel where I paint.

I love the peacefulness of the goldfish and how they swim about calmly. I would love to one day have a koi pond, but until that day I will paint them.

Many of the attributes of the koi symbolize several lessons and even trials individuals often encounter in life. The koi fish has a powerful and energetic life force, demonstrated by its ability to swim against currents and even travel upstream. Some of the characteristics associated with the koi include:

Good fortune
Success
Prosperity
Longevity
Courage
Ambition
Perseverance

Painted with a palette knife on deep edge stretched canvas with black painted sides, it comes signed and ready to hang.
