Koi Mixed Media

So to pass some time, I entered a contest with this mixed media piece made exclusively from junk mail. I find limitations frustrating but also challenging. Since I chose a realistic subject I was constantly trying to add elements to create a realistic looking Koi and pond environment. However, there were paper and time limitations so I had to bend the rules and omit many realistic elements that I would have included in a painting. I bent the rules of realism and I'm satisfied with the outcome.
