New Koi Pond pastel by Niki Gulley


“Playing Tag” ©2011 Niki Gulley
24” x 36” pastel

Black, gold, white, tangerine—quicksilver Koi slice through silent waters while above them water lilies keep an eye on the playful, darting fish. Colors float and ripple across the painting forming tranquil patterns that segue into a loving composition of inverted hearts drawing you into the “heart” of the painting – a happy threesome of lilies in bloom.

To see more of my pastels, please stop by my booth at the Ann Arbor Art Fair this week.

D-Koi

4.25 x 7 inches on Saunders watercolor paper 140 lb cold press. From my Las Vegas Flamingo Hilton photo, this Mandarin duck was swimming on very clear water over a huge orange-yellow koi. The duck seemed oblivious to his underwater friend, so maybe he really is a decoy! Email: 1971ks@att.net for more information I accept PayPal, major credit cards, debit cards, personal checks.

"Against the Stream" Koi acrylic painting by Rebecca Zook

I like people who think for themselves and don't just follow the crowd. The painting can viewed as simply being about beautiful fish, but the one that many people might not immediately see the beauty in, is swimming the opposite direction. A little hidden meaning.

I'm really pleased with the way the scales turned out on the silver koi. I applied multiple thin layers of paint to achieve it.
