Japanese Koi

A single koi fish depicted from an overhead perspective, swimming through a teal-blue pond surrounded by lily pads. The fish features a striking white body with bold patches of red-orange and black, with delicate flowing fins and tail rendered in white and black. The lily pads are painted in bright yellow-green against the soft aquamarine water background. The composition is centered and slightly diagonal, creating a sense of graceful movement. The style is clean and illustrative with smooth brushwork, making it an accessible, moderately detailed painting suitable for intermediate painters.
