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:
On this particular Tuesday in October it was raining, so our artists group met and painted in the Cafe patio which had a tent canopy over it. Although we were dry, it took forever for our paintings to dry in the humid air. I tried to capture the feeling of the gray day. This painting was accepted into the Art Students League Small Works show at the Manhattan Municipal Building in December 2010.
