I seem to have painted several versions of water. Here the water is not ruffled by wind but swirls lazily along. I allowed myself to play off watery arabesques against the geometrical cut of the wall. I imagined a bit of blue sky reflecting in the water – I introduced this to highlight the group of figures – and I put some reflections of the brickwork in the water as well.
