Original artwork description:

Water Dragons, oil on canvas, 80 x 80 x 2 cm
Water Dragons, a flickering glimmer of red and gold, the water twists and turns. The green blue depths shine emerald as spectral life glides by. I glimpse the colour, I hang my hand in the water, I feel the cool space where the graceful phantoms live. I lose hours, watching, feeling myself being lulled with the gentle motion around me. Bubbles rise to the surface, golden sunlight refracts the shapes, I remember the legend of the Koi as dragons.
Inspired by Van Gogh's use of colour, Water Dragons has been created to suggest the fleeting abstract shapes of Koi carp in water. Created in vibrant oil paint, Water Dragons is ready to hang.
