Description
The A Glint of Koi is a photograph taken in Hawaii during a feeding time at the pond at the Dole Pineapple Plantation. Did you know that a group of koi is called a glint. I loved the flashes of color and the bubble patterns in this image and the sense of activity. You can almost feel the splash.
Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope, and gratitude is my lifelong passion and gift for the earth, hence the name of my art business, For the Earth. My mother painted in oils when I was young and encouraged my own drawing, painting, and handcrafting in all forms. My father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result of these loving influences, I am a lifelong student of both mediums. I am grateful to my wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson, for training my eye and technique. I hope you will enjoy this image as much as I enjoyed its creation.
