“I was never as aware of how beautiful the world is until I started to paint,”


Cindy Crimmin says. “It makes life better. People who don’t paint don’t know


this.” Now a decade into her journey as a painter, the Acton, Mass., artist is


attuned to see beauty everywhere—in the colors refracted from a puddle, the


intersection of a chair against a wall, the light falling on a tree trunk. These


inspirations can turn into mild obsessions and then full-blown series, like the


paintings of falling water shared here. Once the artist turned her attention to


the subject of moving water, the potential for beauty was apparent.
