In fact, nearly 5 months ago, a client of mine just got the TOP for her apartment in a condominium.

She and her husband, commissioned an artist to paint an identical piece i.e. 9 coins swirling in in a pool. Much like what you had mentioned.

I believe, this is modern art - taken into the context that it actually is acceptable since:-

1. Black (in this entire painting) should be taken as the `Water' element. Since water is represented by blue, black or grey.

2. "Yellow" in the painting represent more towards gold element. And if properly drawn i.e. the gold movement shown - as if the fish is swimming is good.

3. The next best thing is that the koi (or carp) should not be too thin. But well endowed is good.

The key success here is the use of metal element.

If you have gone thru the link to the questions posted by the arowanaclub members - there is a resource which I had posted:

Metal always goes well with water.

For example the Suntec City fountain is circular (where circle represents) metal. Water flows thru it to the earth.

Here, under the Five elements concept: we have:

Metal -> supports Water

In many of the `Feng Shui' fountains we can see a rotating ball with water lubricating it. Here, there is a combination of water with metal.

In general Koi fish(es) are considered as the metal element. Since it is often shiny or silvery. Much like gold fish or even dragon fish.

And all these fishes (in general) are metal elements.

Look out for this painter: Chen Mu Yuan. He paints all kinds of koi fish paintings.

I bought a nine - nine fishes i.e. nine fishes on each side facing each other. Which implies Longevity - Longevity

Two years ago, on recommendation of a friend, I went to Crawford Lane Blk 462 (2nd level). It is opposite the Jalan Sultan.

This shop is actually a frame maker. They have lots (lots) of paintings. Their paintings costs between S$200 to S$400 for such koi paintings. - You must ask the proprietory to show you those paintings that are not displayed. He keeps scrolls of them lying around.

1 month ago, another client, went to buy such a painting for around $200 plus.

Last, year, I saw, the 9 koi carp jumping over the dragon gate at the Holland Village shopping centre. I did not ask for the price. But it is this same painter: Chen Mu Yang.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
