My Long Ago Pond


This was my first pond in full bloom. I hand dug it, hand raised the Koi. I built this tiny bridge where my cat, Puck, would lay wtaching fish and sunning himself. The Koi would swim to me and take food from my fingers. I snapped an image one late summer day from my Studio Doors. Years later, long after I had moved away I came upon the image. I painted from memory and nostalgia.
