Queen of Cups

Water of Water.

I was thinking of putting something floating on the water, and something half-visible in it, ala Escher's Three Worlds, but nothing really came together for it. And the ripple effect I was talking about for the reflection was either too subtle, or too much. So - simplify!

The other day I was out behind the Museum, looking down at the gently rippling water, and noticing the way the sun's reflection turned into wobbly searing loops of brightness, that left wavering afterimage trails. It was pretty cool. Someday I'll use that to create some impressionistic water - but not in this image.

Still just a day behind schedule, too.
