WHEN THE LIGHT HITS JUST RIGHT


When I looked online for reference pictures of Koi, it gave me only the kind called "swimming jewels" the collectors buy for their ponds. So I had to draw from what I saw in the creek.

The plain carp. A few years ago, I noticed that when the sunlight hit it just right, its brownish-gray could appear tints of purple, and smatterings of tan dirt and sand glitter gold. I so wanted to show what I saw--sorry Softi (today's carp); this is all I can do for now, ok? Maybe someday.

One Glad Day the light will shine just right on me too, and I too will be all beautiful!
