Metallic Koi VII depicts three ornamental koi swimming among white water lilies in a deep teal pond, their bodies rendered in warm oranges, reds, and gold with flowing, translucent fins that suggest graceful movement. The composition balances the fish across the darker water with scattered lily pads and blooms, creating a serene aquatic scene with an illustrative, almost painterly quality. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
