What a terrific winter this has been! So rare to have skating close to home, now lasting nearly 8 weeks. Neighbors work together to shovel off the snow, to drill holes and assess the safety, to text and say “who is skating today?”. How lucky I am to have such delightful dear friends, and to make new ones as well.
More than 50 years ago I skated this same pond with childhood friends, struggled with frozen laces after hours of fun as the sun set and we needed to walk home- the way one’s face froze too, and words were hard to form by the end-
Painting the skaters challenged me tremendously; to capture not just the movement, but the feeling of Ice Pond.
