Brock handles his difficult medium rather well  - watercolor is so unforgiving of mistakes.  He has created a bit of a tightrope stroll for himself in approaching the forms with a confident hand while modulating the color, contrast, and focus just enough to create the blurry motion. The earlier pieces are done on paper and retain more subtlety then the works on panels but you get to witness Brock�s progress here in the transition.  The earlier panel works are more structurally defined and some of the spontaneity of the works on paper is sacrificed. Even so, he eventually finds his way and captures on panel what is so marvelously executed on paper.
