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.

Almost every night I look out my window and see a spectacular sunset. Sometimes I try to paint exactly what I see. More often, I take liberties, adding or removing things that are there. Mostly removing: bridges, boats, the Palisades. This time, I "lost" the horizon.
