I know this water well. I’ve painted it from far, from bridges, from every angle you can think of.
That day I didn’t want the whole picture. I wanted to get close enough that you stop seeing water and start seeing something else entirely.
The lines are real. The reflections are real. But up close it stops making sense in the usual way, and that’s exactly what I was after.
Watercolour on Arches paper. 23 x 31 cm. Framed. One of a kind.
