Thanks Philip. Your presence and kindness– much appreciated!
Fascinating image. You show that natural art images surround us.
Thanks Ed. It’s been cold here but we’ve been enjoying all of it. The ice is providing plenty of inspiration
Wet and soft, I like the “colouring”
Thanks Hans. The just-enough palette of ice
Excellent; made me think of Miró, altough it’s in B&W.
Yeah, I’ve always loved his work. This one’s actually in color, but the ice might feel differently about that 😊
Oops.. 😅 I’m not at home, so I watched this on the smartphone. A lot of subtleties don’t make it then. 👍✋
It has a playful quality that I like. Miro is evoked, but Jean Arp is too, I think.
The forms are a pleasure to see in themselves but you also wonder why, why did the ice do that? 😉
Yes, Arp! Forgot about him. Not sure why the ice did that, but I’m guessing it relates to freezing and thawing and freezing again. This spot also had an unfrozen feeder stream close to it, so water may be moving underneath. I read somewhere once that the Inuit have eighty terms for snow in their vocabulary. Probably the same for ice
Maybe those were bubbles that rose, then froze. But who knows? I’m glad you were out there.
