Concrete and Water

Medium: Acrylic on canvas panel
Size: 8X10 inches
Location: New Braunfels Texas

This original en plein air painting was created on location in New Braunfels, Texas, beneath the Faust Street Bridge along the Guadalupe River.

Painted outdoors and in real time, the piece captures a weathered structure marked by layers of graffiti, set against the movement of water and open sky. The contrast between the rigid geometry of the building and the fluid motion of the river creates a dynamic sense of place—both constructed and natural.

Loose, responsive brushwork reflects the immediacy of the scene, focusing on light, color, and atmosphere rather than fine detail. The graffiti becomes part of the composition, adding rhythm and visual texture while grounding the work in a specific, lived-in environment.
