Pink Lotus Pond Paintings with Koi

Pink lotus flowers on quiet ponds, koi in orange, red and gold, dragonflies over buds, and a workshop with lotus stitched in silk are the subjects of these lotus paintings. Any of them can be ordered as a hand-painted oil or as a printed archival canvas.

Pink blossoms, leaves and still water

One square canvas keeps to three pink blossoms over still water and morning haze, painted in soft minimal oils. Another pond is painted in thick strokes, with a single open flower over sage leaves beaded with droplets. A lighter picture lets dragonflies with clear wings hover near a pink bud on a thin stem, and its sage green, cream and pale blue stay quiet. Because the flower scenes lean on sage, cream and pink, they sit easily beside pale walls and natural wood.

Koi beneath the lotus

The wildlife here is koi. In one painting they circle through pale green water in orange-red, cream, gold and black, each leaving soft ripple rings, and a broad lotus leaf with a pink bud closes the scene. A second painting rings red and golden carp around a lone black fish on turquoise water, with ridged impasto in cream and gold carrying the swirl and pink and white lotus along the top edge. Fish scenes of this kind are gathered further in Koi Fish.

Lotus in silk and a calm room

A workshop scene takes the lotus indoors: a figure in a conical hat pulls red and gold silk thread through a hoop of wood, with stitched panels of pink lotus and white cranes hanging nearby, in warm wood and dark blue. The pond pictures, with pale water and soft pink, share the stillness found in Zen. The square lotus canvases in sage and cream suit a bedroom wall, while the koi on dark green water give a deeper note against a pale wall.
