   Odd how in some paintings the water looks solid and in some, translucent. In the second image above, it looks solid, like one could walk upon it. And the street in the third image is so watery and translucent that one expects the pedestrians to sink into it. (Francois Boucher has me thinking about translucent waves.)

      For a wonderful take on water’s translucency and surface, see my posts on Frits Tuaulow, and here, particularly Water Mill.
