This is a little project of mine. Its not done yet. I have quite a bit of work still ahead of me but thought i would share it with you guys. Please dont be to harsh - its been 12 years since i last painted.

Pragtig, hou regtig daarvan, goed gedoen.

Is jy van plan om meer te verf en dit dalk te verkoop?? Min mense het die gawe om kunstig te wees en ek dink dit is pragtig. Hou aan daarmee

Wayne,

Moet nou net nie jou oor afsny nie, van Gog

Hier is my eie ontwerp wat by my pompkamer hang. Die Kois' en agter grond is van "hardboard" gemaak en geverf, en is daarna geraam.
Lyk nou nie so kunstig soos joune nie, maar iets anders.

Hi wayneb,

Very nice painting, you did a great job.

I would like to comment on the kohaku's Hi, the Hi on the body and on the head are different in colour, you must feed her more colour enchancer.

Hi Sas

The painting is not done yet but i am painting the kois as they are in reality. You will see the kindai has a clipped fin.

Drawing a straight line will be a challenge to me.

Wow! That is really superb!

Kyk net die "fem" kant van die manne! Ek is beindruk. Self sal ek nie so iets probeer nie.

Bobby, jou skildery is pragtig gedoen.

Paul post 'n groter photo.

Don't have a better photo and it is stored away. Herewith more attempts.






And one of my 15 year old Bekko (Oldman)

And this one was recently done by her without my interference, that is why it is so much better (3 meters, oil on canvas) - a commission from one of my clients of his own koi.

Paul, that is very well done. Amazing how much talent is the koi hobby.

Im doing my painting just for myself, painting something like koi is very personal. Someone else might not like the painting the way you have done it. The 3 kois in my painting are possible my best potentials in my own pond. I am painting on canvas with oil paint.

I still need to add shading and more detail to the kois themselfs. I regret every day the way i have done the water in my painting...i should have gone with a darker background. - When i work on the water it i am happy with it at night and the next morning i keep on seeing something that needs to be changed or fixed so the water is changing all the time. Plus another problem is that it does not really fit into the colour scheme of anything in my house....so where will it end up?

Water is one of the most difficult things to capture on a painting. Even the professionals battle and it is one reason why most paintings of koi almost excludes the water. I agree that you maybe should have done the background darker, and that is one thing you can not rectify later. You can still work on the koi, but will stuff it up if you change the background later.

However, you have done very well.
