"Reflected" oil on board, 18x24"
These koi were fun to paint as there were so many reflections around them. It might have been a little softer if I had some canvas, so I did quite a bit of dry brush to soften the highlights.
About Me
- Kristen Reitz-Green
- Vashon Island, Washington
- I am an artist living on an island in the pacific Northwest. For the past year I having been painting exclusively in oils, mostly on board but also some canvas. For a few years prior to this, I painted furniture with acrylics in a style reminiscent of art from Oaxaca, Mexico. For many , many years before that, I was a professional french horn player. Life circumstances made me choose to put my instrument down permanently and this blog is evidence of my creative spirit coming out in different form. I love the practice of daily painting and after all the years in classical music, daily practice feels essential to art as much as it did to music.
