Sometimes allowing the canvas to dictate its intentions takes me to interesting places complete with wonderful stories. The words "water elevator" kept coming to me and I had to look it up. For me it is much like a lighthouse keeper but much busier with boats coming and going, up and down...
This piece was painted intuitively until something emerged that caught my interest. From there on my imagination took over, armed with my years of painting skills and techniques. It is a nice break from coastal landscapes but still seems to be set in the water. And yes...trees grow anywhere in this world of mine.
