In Japanese myth there was a koi who decided to swim upstream to attain enlightenment. As the koi travelled it encountered many obstacles and as it overcame each one, it grew stronger despite of the unrelenting rivers downstream current. The koi struggled onward and eventually crested the mighty waterfall know as the Dragons Gate.

The God’s smiled down in approval and transformed the exhausted koi into a shining golden dragon. The koi now joyfully spends his days chasing pearls of wisdom across the skies of the vast and eternal heavens.

 Whenever another koi finds the strength and courage to leap up the falls, he or she becomes a heavenly dragon too.   Koi have become  symbols of worldly aspiration and advancement, of overcoming adversity and fulfilling one’s destiny. They stand for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

Weather Change

Coming home the other evening I saw the strangest cloud formation.  I realized it was the cooler rain clouds of fall pushing out the last of the fair weather.
Had our first frost last night, guess I got this done just at the right time.

Evening Snow

Painting to get ready for the December show at WICA, "Winter Inspired" I have used pastel colored watercolor paper and drawn a back drop of deciduous trees in ink with acrylic detailing trying to create the feeling of a light snowfall at twilight.  The evenings are beginning to come earlier every day.
