Strength
and Beauty
Watercolor |
The beauty of Koi is held in the highest esteem
by Japanese culture and named the national fish of Japan. The Japanese
name for koi is Nishikigoi and was cultured by the Japanese over
200 years ago. Koi reside and flourish in well-aerated and filtered
ponds. Their ponds are set in beautiful landscaped gardens. They
can grow to 24-36 inches in length. Average life span is 25-35
years. The varied colors and artistic markings make them living
jewels to be enjoyed and treasured. Painting this original was
shear joy and with the koi swimming upwards, is symbolic of good
luck.
