This pastel was done last fall at the home of my friend and fellow artist, Karen Arieno. She and her husband have this picturesque pond behind their house which is now the home of several koi fish. Karen pointed them out to me swimming past as I was finishing up.
The painting itself took longer than I expected that day and I wasn't really satisfied with it when I got home. It sat untouched for several months until I felt ready to tackle it. All of those reflections were very intimidating and some corrections had to be make. It was definitely one of the more challenging paintings I have done.
Completed size is 12"x18"
