Really nice work on the nishikigoi (錦鯉 (carp) Dimps. I did a little googling. lol It does look oriental ornamental. That has a nice ring to it much like your creation. Good post.
I'm jealous again!! I've had to put down my paintbrushes for awhile being so busy at work...I'm still working on that first finished painting! I've started 2 and I've thrown away...you guessed it..2!!
I am so jealous!! I could not draw or paint to save myself. LOL. YOu have done a wonderful job on both the painting and the photography on this one. Lyn.
