Tales of Two Fish by Adam Sain

Another one from the Beneath the Canvas collection. This 12x12 canvas panel is a one of our favorites. Here's an excerpt from the book about it: "Two koi fish glide in effortless harmony, their bodies intertwined in a graceful dance. Bold, expressive strokes shape the fish in warm hues of orange, gold, and crimson, standing out against soothing blues and greens. Their circular movement suggests an unbroken flow of time, while textured brushwork adds depth, infusing the water with both energy and tranquility. The vibrant interplay between the koi and their water surroundings invites viewers into a peaceful memory, as if lingering by a pond's edge where worries drift away with each gentle swirl. The scene balances stillness and motion, immersing the audience in nature's quiet choreography. As I painted the koi, I reflected on life's cycles-the way they unfold fluidly yet with intention. Each mark became a meditation on finding beauty in movement and balance, even in the smallest details.
