Good Luck Pond 10 Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

GOOD LUCK POND 10
Koi are an important element in the art of Feng Shui. As with most of my koi paintings, 8's play a prominent roll in the design and is known to attract good luck. There are eight koi fish circulating around a couple of lily pads which also form number 8's in their design. A 9th black koi hidden near the bottom right is also thought to be very lucky as they absorb any bad luck! This koi is also swimming out of the painting, taking the bad luck away!
The 3 gold elements formed by the 2 yellow / gold koi and the golden lily are feng shui elements which attract wealth and prosperity.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

30" x 40" acrylic on 3/4" clean-edge canvas. ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.
Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well. A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue - dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
