DRIP-- Watercolors from the Glades


The Everglades show is gradually getting momentum.

I have worked some more on two paintings that depict the drips and drops and concentric circles that happen across the smooth surface of the water.

These drops are a product of the fish below coming to the surface to gulp mouthfuls of air.

The water is so slow moving...that it doesn't oxygenate itself enough to support the fish totally through gills.

It is a beautiful sight-- to see such a flat surface-- get pierced arbitrarily -- with these beautiful circles!

I was mesmerized.....

It would happen early in the morning...and captivate me for hours.


Here are two presentations of this phenomena.
