Ice Fields | Warm & Cool | Landscape Oil Painting

The Ice Fields Impressionism Oil Painting was moment in time captured from a trip up to a remote area in Northern Pennsylvania. The location was beautiful with only a few scattered houses for miles, with large barns, farms and cabins scattered throughout. It was blisteringly cold, at times. But at other times, the sun was radiating so brilliantly that nature would be tricked into beginning its growth. A strange combination of winter and spring like feelings that makes me feel both warm and cold every time I look at it.

In the scene we can see a small farmers pond that would repeatedly freeze and melt at different spots, depending on the clouds and shadows of the moment. We see warm grasses beginning to poke through in some of the luckier locations as well as open and desolate fields waiting from total spring to being them back to life. And in the distance we see a huge barn the housed hundreds of cows. One can also see their milk processing plant poking out from behind the scattered tree line.

It is a moment that I wont ever forget as it perfectly captures my life at that time. A new life and warmth was beginning to poke its head out from the frequent frost and resistant chills. However, time was not quite ready, and the opportunity for the new cycle had to press on, enduring the repeated freezes. Simple, yet powerful.... the will of change and growth. Nature and man, are one in the same.
