Painting Koi

This Thursday, I went out to the beautiful trail in Golden, next to the History Museum, and I took along an unfinished koi painting, and I painted.  And it was so lovely, the weather was perfect and cool and breezy, and the Art Muse was moving. 

Painting out in the open is a great way to practice risk as an artist.  It's scary to paint in public: you might mess up and right there for all to see!  But risk is beautiful.  And courageous.  And the right kind of people will celebrate it.  




I met a lovely new friend and she loved my koi so much, that today, we got together and began painting a new koi together.  Art, a new friend, and koi:  it doesn't get any better than that!
