What I love about water – ocean, lake, river, waterfall – is how it is always changing. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même. Change is inevitable. The challenge is how to capture the depth, the movement. In my abstract, acrylic paintings, water sometimes looks like water, but it also sometimes looks like space or sky. Honestly, it’s not something I always control. Some paintings just happen.

DESCRIPTION:
The other travelers in our group in India couldn't quite figure out why I was taking pictures - a lot of them - of weathered walls with cracks and peeling paint and plaster. This particular one in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, was particularly scruffy, a fitting counterpoint to the polished marble of the Taj.
