Weekly Photo Challenge: Liquid

 

 

Japanese Pond with Koi Fish – Photo ©Carolina Russo

Hello everyone,

This post is for the Daily Post  Weekly Photo Challenge, the theme for this week is “Liquid” share a photo of liquid in whatever state, shape, or color you happen to capture it in. You can go as big as the ocean or as small as a teardrop, as clear as vodka or as opaque as milk.

Here is mine, I love the reflection of the water and the lighting in this Japanese pond enlivened by the beautiful and colorful Koi fishes. I took this photo awhile ago and it also inspired me to create one of my watercolor paintings with the title “Girl With Koi” available as Limited Edition Signed Print on my Etsy Shop.

– Girl With Koi –
Day #7 World Watercolor Month

 

This is Day #7 of the World Watercolor Month  today I was debating deciding what to paint.  I also wanted to paint something different and combine a girl face with an animal, I love to do that lately. Today painting is titled “Girl With Koi” I love the Japanese Koi fish their colors are beautiful. I was inspired to combine a Koi and a colorful and glamourous girl together in a vortex of blue water.

” Koi or more specifically nishikigoi, are ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. Koi varieties are distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. Wikipedia
