Potomac Ice
What a difference 1.13C makes [1]
The winter of 1977 was exceptionally cold in the Washington area, even for that era, with a period of over 30 days during which the temperature never rose above freezing. The artist was living in Georgetown (DC) at the time, and worked just across Key Bridge in Rosslyn VA. Walking across the bridge to and from work every day, I watched the Potomac gradually transform from a river to a snow-covered ice sheet and back again. On several of those days, I brought my camera and photographed details of the scene portrayed below. That image, incidentally, captures the mood quite well. It was taken at the end of the series, when the temperature was rising, and is not on my artist website https://galerieschiff.com
