Description
"Fantasy Koi"- by Barbara Lee Donovan is an older mixed media piece created by drawling the fish with a white charcoal pencil on black paper then blended oil pastels by finger as well as scratching out the fine detail such as the scales in places by fingernail. From start to finish this work took three months to complete due to moving into our new home. My inspiration was my husbands joy in seeing the multitudes of Koi fish at Big Spring Park in downtown Huntsville. We love to go feed them dry cat food. I drew this for him completely freehand and then added the vivid colors and patterns that are not totally realistic to Koi hence the fantasy part. The artwork is very detailed and is a fun cartoonish image to view. The movement of the fish give a sense of swimming in dark water almost like they are smiling. A perfect bold addition to a lover of Koi or nature.This is a viewers favorite.
