Ice: form, melt, freeze

Recently I have been obsessed by ice - by its formation, thawing and refreezing, and by the abstract images that appear with ice and its crystals. I have started carrying my camera around while hiking and snowshoeing in the forest to document the many iterations of ice. I am also reminded that ice is increasingly precious to us in our warming world.

This acrylic painting is titled "ice flow", and was inspired by the photo below of an icy stream, where on a recent hike my dog stopped to have a drink.
