It’s a long story, but a friend of mine Nigel Caddock was holding the TopPonds Expo weekend at his establishment and I muscled my way in offering a full collection of new paintings for his walls……………..here is the artwork for the Expo.

The Picasso Sanke

A truely beautiful koi, let alone the painting, this is one of Anne’s all time favourite koi paintings.

The koi looks like it will swim off the canvas.

The koi itself was owned by Pete Waterman (of Stock, Aitken and Waterman; the record producer responsible for Kylie, Jason Donavan and who can forget Sonia) I tripped over a photograph of the gorgeous koi and had to paint it.

30″ x 30″ on a box canvas, acrylic with varnish coating

Original available £950 + £12.00 p+p

Runny Showa

A 3 canvas set of something completely different.

The T Shirts are available in sizes from small to XX large, supply varies as these t-shirts are purchased from the USA as we have found them to be the BEST.

Delivering a high quality product to you.

Anne,
Received today, as per instructions.  Very
impressed with quality of shirt and of design.
I am sure my wife will be too when she receives
this (Xmas)................it really is a
great shirt, I hope the Japanese lettering is
authentic as Lindsay will almost certainly
 wear it on our visit to Japan next year!
I have also told my mum (who was looking for
a birthday present for my wife) so she will
more than likely post an order to be
delivered to us.
Best regards,
Dean.

If you have any sugestions for other koi varieties please get in touch, either by answering this post or by emailing me anne@koiart.co.uk

 There will be many other mugs in the future some funny and some serious but my imagination is flowing again.

This another commissioned painting, it is on a 5 foot high by 18 inches wide canvas.

This koi carp is life size at almost 3 feet long she is a stunning fish.

As you can see the back ground is already in, this acrylic on canvas and I almost finger painted the background in putting the paint on with a brush and then smoothing it with my fingers to attain the soft effect that I required.

I have also put gesso over any areas that where over painted in the background, there is still a visible colour shadow around the edge of the koi.

The scales are the next piece to tackle, I will mark where all of the scales are to go on the koi.
This is a laborious task but the benefits later in the process of this painting will be worth it.

A mixed grey gesso is used to mark each and every scale, I do not worry too much about a few looking out of alignment as the scales will be only a slight effect in the completed work.

After eight hours of painting I have stopped today, as the painting of scales can tire my eyes quickly.

Lots more tomorrow and hopefully colour by Wednesday.
