Bright gold, yellow and orange koi fish swim in an abstract blending of cobalt violet and sea greens. This is a print from hand painted watercolor. The koi fish are loosely drawn in with a pencil. The koi fish dance across the page like brushstrokes themselves. You will notice something different every time you look at this painting. Koi literally translates to carp in Japanese but the homophone for koi means friendship or love hence koi fish are symbols of love and friendship in Japan.
