Beautiful, Robert! I love the diffusion of the koi in the foreground and the painterly effect of the reflection of the foliage in the water! Well done! v/f

I usually don't like koi paintings,but yours is beautiful, different and fresh. They are very beautiful.
Adriana Garces
Very nicely done Robert! The softness brought in by its natural surrounding, color gradations & the light sense of the coi itself, all great! :) Welcome to FAA...V/F

My father would have loved your work, Robert. He made Koi ponds, stocked them with beautiful fish, some from Japan, and bred them for years. He appreciated art that portrayed the koi and yours is truly AWESOME! V/F
Robert Conway replied:
oh thank you so much Carol, painting koi just chills me out. I used to have a pond but we had to move, so I made sure I took a lot of pictures for future paintings.
