This painting measures 36 x 36 with a 2.25 inch goldr-leafed edge. I begin with graphite drawing on the wood surface, adding multiple layers of oil paint, washes, glazes, and metal-leaf.  Each of my paintings has about 30 layers.

"Koi on White" is part of a long-time series of Koi paintings I have done.  They are an imaginative interpretation capturing the movement and interaction of a Koi Pond.
