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.

Sunset in the Chobe National Park in Botswana was really special. We sorta ignored the monkey that wanted to grab our snacks before we got to them (and would have carried off our cameras if we'd let him), but the sunset and the overall atmosphere could not be ignored. Magnificent. Almost otherworldly. I will never forget it.
