Ice-fishing Huts

This is a new "in-betweener" painting I did yesterday. It's a bit different than the ones that have come before it in that it is actually a little scene - not just shapes.

I've never been ice-fishing but the little huts seem so cozy despite being situated on and surrounded by ice. How we survive the Canadian winter...

I like the starkness of my painting but I may go back into it and add some shadows/melted water/definition to the ice area.

I stole the image from the dust jacket (below) of a book about "The Canadian Look". I wanted to throw the dust jacket away (because I usually take them off my books) but I liked the picture so much that I had to translate it into a painting first.

Thanks for looking.
