72" x 60"
oil on canvas

I worked on this(on and off) for eight months. At six feet tall it's the largest thing I've ever done. Still thinking on the title. As, always I reserve the right to work on it more. :)

The original inspiration behind the painting was Ophelia, but the more I think about it the more I think she's not dead.

The full download is pretty big.

I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for looking.

Daily Deviation"...the attention to detail, colour balance and composition here is breathtaking!!!" True. The color and movement rhythm created by the repetition of the koi, the sense of suspension given by the perspective and the detailed yet not too tight brushwork are elements that make koi and figure by ~MattBenn8 a captivating piece.

Fantastic imagery - it makes me wonder what the back story is for the lady and why she's floating amongst the koi. Must be quite a tranquil thing to do though.
Amazing, great job and a very original Ophelia
Everything about this is incredible.
Beautiful work.
Wow, it's great to see the completed project! Awesome. All the preview images have had me looking forward to seeing it, and, well, I wasn't wrong thinking that it was going to be beautiful. ^.^ I bet it looks even better in person.
Beautiful, beautiful work.
