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 love the way acrylic on Yupo applied with a palette knife mimics watercolor: specifically the way it allows the light from the paper to shine through. You never know what you're going to get. In this case, I thought the upper right mass looked like a yellow headed and beaked bird with large blue wings. The beak seemed aggressive, hence the Raptor part of the title.
2016 Acrylic on Yupo Size: 14"x11"
