Koi Fish Trio Original Oil 8 x 10 in

About The Painting

I visited The Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course this summer. The still waters of the beautiful Koi Pond reflected the windy day and the fish turning and coming together that pushed wavy lines to create directions, this reminded me of Gustav Klimt's Goldfish painting. This small painting of Koi Fish is my homage to Klimt's art piece. The meaning of three fish is energy, vitality and overall well-being.

Style: "Natural Expressionism" is a new style of painting developed by American artist Cecilia Chenault. The style is characterized by realistic, flat brush strokes that are applied without layering, creating clean color or a living appearance to the paintings. The paintings are created with a limited palette of colors, applied with minimal blending or mixing of the subject upon the canvas, the textured background is applied with a painting knife application which adds a dimension of texture. Inspired by classic realism, and post-expressionism, Cecilia Chenault continues the tradition of expressionism into the modern day with her colorful wild nature and landscape paintings which convey subjective emotions and responses to the natural world.
