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.

    Dry Season

    After a number of paintings based on Victoria Falls in Africa, I finally got one I liked.  It was especially hard figuring out how to paint falling water using acrylic on raw canvas.  (In my 2/2/2020 blog post I describe the process.) Click here to read more.
