48 x 48 acrylic airbrush and brush on canvas. Wanting to do a koi painting with a more 'Zen/Surreal' style and influence, led me to paint this piece. It is the first of a series I am doing of surreal images of the koi swimming through a traditional 'dry' japanese garden. The patterns made in the gravel, and the stones traditionally represent islands in the oceans or the planets in space. The Koi, is continuing it's journey beyond.
