Living Art Transformed

[Sangreaal]

On rainy stormy wind-battered days I tend to languish around the house, wishing I were anywhere else. *L* Yesterday was just such a day, and as usual I was bored to tears and in serious need of some sort of creative outlet. Digital art is another hobby of mine, so I dusted off the software that I haven't touched in over a year and spent the day turning photographs into watercolors. Of course you know what the subject matter had to be... *L*

This is Poppy and Dojo and the Canary in the QT:


And this is Zen and Songen in the pond:


And a study on scalation:


And Songen gliding up in pre-docking mode:


Maybe I'll make up some calendars of custom koi watercolors or mat and frame some prints as stocking stuffers for Christmas. I dunno.

Whaddaya think?

*muttering furtively to self* Wow......I stunned someone.

Cards--good idea. Never thought of that, but some of them might make some good blank note cards.

Guess what everybody is getting for Christmas now? *LOL*

Wow..I thought I was the only one who loves to play with koi pictures. These are two pics that I have on the front page of my website. The site is www.koigeeks.com (disclaimer:It is not an advertisement because I dont use it to sell koi anymore...More of me having fun with pictures when I'm bored).

Oh...I have this one too.

Niice! You've got some great models there. Isn't it fun? I did Shiia's baby pic today:



It had looked like this:


And there's alot of other things besides the watercolors. Like this one:


...which had been this:


Koi make wonderful models. And well they should be, for they are, in and of themselves, living art.

Thanks for sharing your art, B!
