Manna From Heaven is based on the beautiful koi ponds of the Dallas Arboretum. On the day I took the photo from which this was painted, a kind gentleman saw me trying to snap images and tossed bread into the koi pond for me. The fish swam right up and held their noses above the surface perfectly. The world is full of thoughtful strangers, it seems!

  2. Nancy, this is a wonderful painting. I love the koi ponds at the Arboretum. I was there on Monday!!! I like the swirling motion you created on the canvas.

  3. The colors are just lovely, Nancy! Like Kay I like how the water swirls. I've never been to the Dallas Arboretum and it appears I need to take a trip over there!
