Koi Pond WIP 1

I recently started this painting, so it's a very early work in progress (WIP). It supposed to be an overhead view of a koi pond. The canvas is 44" x 18".

I'm still trying to work out the composition. The right side especially isn't working for me. Looking at the spacing now, the yellow area is the same width as the light blue below it, and also the same width as the two green lilly pads below that. That whole area is going to get reworked next time I work on it.

I really want to give this painting a more complex (sophisticated?) composition than the last couple things I've done. No subject in the center of the canvas this time. I'm hoping to get the general composition tacked down later this week. We'll see. The dogess has class for the next couple of nights, so I won't get a chance to work on it until later this week.
