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 was fascinated by the light shining through the trees. The spaces between are enigmatic and fascinating. What is there? In a couple of places I tried to bring the light (background) forward by having it blur some of the edges and scraping down from two of the openings to show the white paper.
