great job making a finished painting with the minimum of work. That’s very hard to do. It makes me think of those hazy days when the light makes the water and the sky look the same color, where the horizon almost disappears so it’s hard to tell where the sky starts. Your water plants are just the right touch and their reflections give the whole scene a quietness, like it’s dawn, before the insects and birds wake up.

You have the ability to portray innocence that is pure, like a young child who is completely unaware of it’s innocence looking at the world as a magical place. It’s a gift that you have that may be obvious to you, but that most of us forgot. In your paintings you remind the viewer of the fresh delights that we thought we left behind.

...I can almost hear the sound of the water moving.

I would buy this if it were for sale.
