A weeks worth of paint and canvas - Canvas 862

My week started with another version of a previously 24x24 Koi painting #662. This is actually one of my favorite paintings. The captured light added to the paintings transparent qualities of feeling wet, a quality I would like capturing again. So here goes, I'll use a 30x36 canvas, the 5th in the series.
