This fluid acrylic painting is inspired by a small, lively river in Woodstock’s Southside Park. I watched the fast-moving water ripple and dance in the sunlight, reflecting the world above in glimmers of color—sky blues, deep shadows, and sudden flashes of gold and green. The water surged with playful energy, capturing both the vibrancy of the present moment and the quiet pull of memory. Creating this piece, I let the paint follow its own current, mimicking the motion and spontaneity of the river itself. It’s a tribute to a beautiful day, and to the many layered memories carried in the flow.
