Ice and Sky

In this cool-toned composition, the shades of blue and white create a visual representation of ice and water. The abstract forms suggest glaciers or icy landscapes, evoking the work of artists like Lawren Harris of the Group of Seven, who celebrated the majesty of nature. This painting feels vast and expansive, reminiscent of frozen tundras or icy peaks, and it reflects a quiet power, drawing viewers into a moment of stillness and reflection. The smooth blending and sharp contrasts within the composition parallel the qualities of ice—solid, cold, yet constantly changing. This piece can also be seen as a meditation on climate, embodying the fragility and beauty of natural landscapes in the face of environmental change.
