You’ve got one nice abstraction there. The orange-brown makes a great contrast with the blue.

Thanks, Steve. My first approach to the ice was from an angle that encouraged black and white but a continued walk offered this color.

I’m glad you kept on walking.

Very nice. I like the patterns on the ice even more than the orange brown. But, then again, you know how minimalist I am.

Thanks, Mike. I may have something from this shoot that will appeal to the minimalist in you. I had a few shots from an angle without the color and may do some of those in monochrome if they work out well. No promises. š

I’ll see what else is in there. Lots of similar but maybe something different.

I love the whole composition – colours and patterns. I think this is really outstanding, an exciting image to view. Thanks so much Steve!

Thank you, Liz. I was pretty excited once I saw this. There are a lot more still to be processed but this one stuck out as I reviewed them.

How did you get the acrylic/oils effect, Steve? It’s lovely!

Thank you, Hannah. I just made sure I had the focus on the ice textures and shot from an angle with some side-lighting to accent them and then placed the colorful reflections where they would accent the image. The ice formed as you see it giving a nice brush stroke effect. No trickery. š

Yes, just yesterday morning. It’s a fire pond with a quick freeze skin coat. The way the ice formed such delicate patterns is amazing. I might post a few others later on.

It does look like a close view of a canvas. It’s a perfect meld of color and form.

At the time I wasn’t thinking brushstrokes but once on the big screen it became obvious. Thanks, Linda.

One wonders how this happens – cosmic brushstrokes, right? š

This morning’s post sort of explains my theory how these patterns come to be. The wind and a quick freeze. Jack Frost’s brushstrokes. š

Who says you can’t find neat pictures in winter? We don’t often get frost or ice out here (not that I’m complaining), so it’s nice to see the artistic effects they can bring.

Most of my ice abstracts have been relatively flat although there would be some strata of bubbles. This was my first find of such textures. I hope it’s a promise of more winter goodness to come.
