Whenever I paint or draw the voice of my childhood art teacher is always in my head, repeating “draw what you see, not what you think you see”. I have always tried to look hard for the tiny shapes of color or the changes in value that allow our brains to perceive the world. Lately I have been most interested in water, sky, and reflection. I think this painting is particularly successful.
