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:
The old leaves lit by the sun contrasted with the new buds and I just loved the image. I suppose at some time the old leaves will fall off but these two were still hanging on. Wave Hill is a wonderful place to roam and completely forget you're still in New York City (the Bronx, yet!). This painting won First Prize for Watercolor at the Vintage Artists Gallery in Riverdale in May, 2010.
