The National Arboretum in Northeast Washington, DC provides endless subjects to contemplate and to paint. The koi fish were returned to the ponds next to the Arboretum's Visitor Center in September 2020, after a nine-year absence! I first painted this in 2022, then revised in 2025 to add drama by enlivening the colors and blurring some edges.
