sun sparkled water / cove / precambrian shoreline / killarney (Micheal Zarowsky)

I paint light, atmosphere, the transparency of water. The joy is none of these can be painted directly. I explore water through the very reflections that outline its movement; reflected sky above reaching down, the bottom sand, rocks and grasses all reaching up towards the surface, the changing colours of the forest edges trying to define, shape and contain it. I end up painting everything but the very thing I seek to paint.
