I’m not sure what I’m seeing, though it doesn’t make any difference because your execution is very pleasing. The impression is dewy, like water droplets on a plant surface.

I think it could be a clover or a water Lilly pad. My first impression was a clover but the blue background made me think of still water like in a pond. But as a viewer it’s kind of fun to see more than one thing in a painting. It makes you look at all the other elements and appreciate them separately.

I really like the way you are mixing various colors in the washes. I can make each color out but then it becomes a blended color which then gives way to another color. It reminds me of a shady spot on a brilliant sunny day where the light is diffused so you don’t see where the light source is coming from.

going to do a koi pond for Chinese New Year, but ran out of time. Hopefully I do it next year.
