Ice is really hard to paint. When I was about six, my mom {who happens to be a very accomplished artist} told me to use blue when painting snow or ice… blue?! I didn’t believe her, and decided to stick with white. Clearly, I should have listened. I saw these paintings by American artist Jeremy Miranda about a week ago, and instantly loved them. Beautiful compositions, simple horizons, and big chunks of breathtaking ice… blue ice.
