Comments for A painting a day http://shantimarie.wordpress.com A daily painting provided to you from Shanti Marie's South Carolina studio Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Metamorphosis ( a Koi into a Dragon) by shanti marie http://shantimarie.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/metamorphosis-a-koi-into-a-dragon/#comment-11659 shanti marie Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 +0000 http://shantimarie.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/metamorphosis-a-koi-into-a-dragon/#comment-11659 This painting wasn't going to be posted on this blog... it was being sent to a gallery for framing and after I had it sealed and in the bag and ready to go I changed my mind and switched this painting for another. With Art everything has to be archival to protect from the elements like dust and whatever. Some paintings sit in my flat files for years, so its important to keep the paintings sealed... these bags can be expensive. After the bags are sealed I hate to rip them open because they can't always be sealed back... long story short, I just took the photo thru the bag.

I looked at your koi paintings on your other site and I love how you capture the motion and the grace, as well as the way that you portray the water. Karen Beautiful.

I think the colors are great. I think that you really got your vision of the metamorphosis across well. One question though, why didn't you take it out of the plastic to take the picture?

I laughed out loud when you said you "used to run but now run to the fridge," and "showers hit you in the face. I like to watch home decor shows thinking that one day I'll actually do something with my place----will never happen. You’re hilarious…and sweet.
