Butterfly Koi Pond – A Dance of Color and Grace
Elegance swimming in still water
Converted from an outdoor metal umbrella table into a striking wall piece, this work depicts graceful Butterfly Koi and classic fantail goldfish moving through a decorative pond setting. Hand painted and colored with specialty paints, then sealed under a clear epoxy layer with embedded glass marbles at the center, the piece captures the fluid motion and vibrant patterns that have always fascinated the artist. The transformation from functional table to contemplative wall art brings a sense of peaceful movement into any space.
The inspiration came from a lifelong love of koi ponds and the way the fish seem to dance through the water. The piece combines detailed painting and epoxy to create a living sense of motion and serenity.
Materials: Metal umbrella table base, specialty paints, crystal-clear epoxy, embedded glass marbles.
Dimensions: Approximately 36–40” diameter (converted wall piece).
