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.

Stuck in my studio at home (I know how lucky I am to have it), I've been drawn lately to stormy, windy landscapes, sometimes before, sometimes during and sometimes after the actual storm. It helps that I have a perfect view of some very stormy weather over the Hudson River and the Palisades from my living room window. I gessoed the canvas to create texture and then used some fluid acrylics, but mostly tube paint, once the gesso had dried.
