Early last summer I hiked a trail by the waterfalls of the Temperance River. In a large eddy after one waterfall, pollen covered the water, forming shapes and patterns revealing the currents at work. I was smitten by the look of it and have been painting these swirling, coursing designs of nature ever since.

This particular piece is one of two very similar compositions, this one being what the polar region might look like in the future. Compare it to the painting Mostly Ice.
