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.

Kruger National Park in South Africa during the dry season with the sun going down behind a small lake. It was really peaceful, especially if you ignored (and didn't paint) the adolescent hippos challenging each other in the water, the alligators on the near shore, and the many different birds. Africa was otherworldly beautiful and the colors kept changing.
