Asagi Koi

Yes, I know it's been done before. There are no shortage of koi paintings in any medium anywhere. But my parents don't know that, so that's why I painted this for them for Christmas. There's a second piece to this that's not even half-way done yet, so that'll have to be their anniversary present at the end of January.

Asagi are a pain to paint, which is why I guess you don't see many of 'em in paintings. That weird netting on their body ALMOST made me give up, and is consequently why there's only one of these right now. Damn stupid fish.
