This one came from a new kind of confidence. After finding my footing with Shoreline, Remembered, I was ready to go larger. I kept the palette simple, just two colors on wet paper, and let generosity be my approach. I moved the paper, and it basically painted itself. Of all the paintings in this series, this one comes closest to that original painting on the doctor's office wall — that sense of paint in pure, unhurried motion.

Paula Kirsch, Abstract Artist

Paula Kirsch is a Connecticut-based abstract artist whose work begins, always, with water. Using acrylics and inks on canvas, Yupo paper, and wood panel, she draws from a life spent near lakes and now the Long Island Sound— their depth, their stillness, their constant quiet movement. Her paintings hold something of that.
