I was daring enough to try watercolour this week, which is not one of the mediums with which I am most comfortable. These fish are yin and yang fish - inspired by koi I saw in Japan. I really wanted to get the ripples to be more striking - I think that's something I'll have to practice.I don't know why, but when I read the Illo Friday topic, this funny little cartoon popped into my head. I guess I thought of the saying that "opposites attract"!

great watercolor, i think you did the ripples nicely! I also like the cartoon, the short guy and the tall lady!
This is lovely.
the fish are lovely, very serene

Beautiful koi, got the yin and yang reference right away. And I think in any good marriage there is a fair amount of "opposites" at work!
Oh-- so sweet!! Your fish are striking, too-- well done!
Nice work!
I LOVE the yin yang Koi! What a wonderful image and so beautifully done. The cartoon looks just like me and my boyfriend (unfortunately). I hadn't really thought about how opposite we are in many ways until I saw your post. Very thought provoking...and funny!
Hi KT, I was just showing Mel your illustrations and was pleased to see you've been at it again. We both loved your "opposite" fish. Moo x x
Hey you ought to do MORE watercolours! Really lovely illo.
Great job! It's just wonderful and so subtle. The ripples are gentle and are exactly how I would imagine they should be! Well done.
Love the fishes piece!! poetic and elegant!
I love it!
The yin yang koi image is very beautiful.
I also like the cartoon.

Your etchings are very nice. I also really like the picture of the woman from Laos holding up the baby.
Very relaxing painting, wonderfully done!
Wow, I adore your koi painting, so beautiful, delicate, simple, elegant, lovely.

That's a great watercolor piece. Great colours and the lone work has a really nice quality to it. I also think the ripples turned out nice too. I'd be mucho happy if I were you.
