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:
Lately, I've been experimenting with alcohol inks, trying to get that blurred look of wet-on-wet watercolor. I was also experimenting with alcohol inks on an Alcohol Ink Art Panel given to me by the Art Students League to test. This is the first one I'm happy with. Looking at it, I kept thinking of the Elton John song: I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues.
