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.

Trying to convey how tumultuous the wind can be even after the storm when the sun comes out was a challenge. I tried molding paste on canvasboard to get the texture and then used tube paints for the painting itself. I like the result, so I'll have to try it on a larger canvas.
