Artwork Description

February Ice

0.0 x 0.0

My chores were done so I needed to paint. There is so much subject matter around Singleton Lake that I simply went and stood on the shoreline looking west. The sky was leaden but with bright patches on the horizon. There were flurries in the air but clearing was on the way. I wanted to match the colours of the different types of ice and how they picked up the colours of the sky and the reflections from the shoreline. I wouldn't walk on the ice unless I was wearing my bathing suit which is not typical of February. The ice should be thick and solid but this was a warm winter for sure. The blue birds were already back if they ever left for warmer climes. By the time I was done, the clearing had arrived. Suddenly it was a much different landscape from that when I started!
