Painted along the Comal River chute in New Braunfels, Texas, this piece captures the moment where the water gathers speed and begins to turn. The current curves around pale stone, pulling everything with it—steady, constant, and just a little unpredictable.

Loose brushwork follows the movement of the water rather than defining it, letting the flow stay the focus. The chute itself sits just beyond, hinted at rather than fully described, keeping the attention on the rhythm of the river as it moves through the bend.

It’s a familiar stretch of water—one that’s felt as much as it’s seen.
