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:
I took about 5 photos of the sky and a varying number of condors when I was in Argentina. The birds are ugly up close but majestic in flight. Made it a little bigger here. It was just a spec in my photo. A windy sky lends itself to the kind of wet-on-wet painting I do with acrylics. There are no hard edges in a sky.
