Painting: "Prelude to Ice Out"


There is a time, right before Spring arrives, when winter temperatures hover and refuse to let go. It's a time when we anticipate the changes yet to come, and anxiously watch for signs of the new season.

During this short fleeting time, mother nature creates a wonder of color, and sends floating geometric shapes crashing together between the widening edges of the emerging shoreline and the slate blue ice of the frozen lakes. Winter's remnants crack and moan, pressed to non-existence by swirling spring winds and the warming sun.

"Prelude to Ice Out" is a view of this special wonder, as seen along the edge of Lake Francis, from the top of Murphy Dam, in Pittsburg, NH.
