30 x 40 on Canvas stretcher. Limited Edition Giclee on canvas is Available. This painting is the second in a series of paintings having "Good Luck" atributes. The eight colorful Koi and one predominantly black koi, are considered to be very lucky in many Asian Cultures. The "kanji" (symbol) for "good Luck" and "Happiness" is on the stones at the bottom left of the painting. I expect to do a number of pieces for the series as time goes by, just to be on the safe side. As a rule I also avoid using 4's of anything since in those same cultures, 4 is considered to be unlucky.

I heard this piece was coming out for months. Finally, I get to see a pic. Very nice and different from Good Luck Pond. I missed the boat on Good Luck Pond. Don't want to miss this one.
