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.

Painting on a gessoed canvas, I wanted to do a different kind of sunset ... not the standard blue/red/yellow colors, and not a straight horizontal line. Since I was clearer about what I didn't want than what I DID want, there are a lot of layers to this.
