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.

There was a storm brewing over the Palisades, but I wanted to change it up a bit. I kept the sky, but modified the Palisades and the river. Everything else seems to be changing, why not my view? And this is my relatively new experimental technique, so that is changing too.
