This painting of the drips on the surface of water is about the moment when we begin to think about an issue and the calm that once was, changes. The beginning of a rain storm on water makes a great metaphor for the shift of emotion. It starts as a simple thought (a drop). The more we think about it (more drops), the more aggitated we can become. Or, if you'd prefer, it's a nice painting of the surface of water at the beginning of a rain storm. 
The sides of this piece are painted. It is wired and ready to hang, so there is no need for a frame, but it can be if you'd like.
