Mako in Spring

"Mako", my small 4 x 4" oil painting inspired by the handsome Kikusui koi, has a new home thanks to a very special collector.

Mako is a scaleless (doitsu) koi and I'm always captivated by the way his brilliant pearly skin reflects the colors of the other koi, the deep blue spring sky and budding trees.
