Cranes Frog-fishing

Day 14 of the Oriental painting challenge for the month of November. The cranes frog-fishing turned out a bit surreal with all that carmine-ish background, but shikishi board doesn't allow gradations (at least I haven't figured out how to do it neatly yet) so I just painted the water carmine too. And then it was too much pink so added the mauve clouds to tone the colors a bit, and they turned out surprisingly ok.
