This is the koi pond at the Orlando home of our recent hosts.
These are just a few of the inhabitants... I counted fourteen, could be more or less.
This is just a small crop of one of many photos I took... just as it was, no photoshopping involved.
This is a watercolor by Joseph Raffael, a master of the medium and who's work I have admired since way back when... I think of his koi when I see the real thing... and forget about ever capturing the subject the way he can. But I've never tried... maybe my way might be interesting enough... won't know until...

Nice shots, Karen. The koi were mesmerizing, weren't they? It will be interesting to see how their color and movement show up in your work. . . . Raffael influenced me early on as well -- who would have thought it!?

last two pics are fantastico, that one looks like fish smoke.
glad you are having such a great trip kj.
I would love to see how your koi would take shape. When I think of your work I think of linear blocks of colour-even your older grass works...
