I have admired John Marin's boldly expressive approach to structuring his
painting compositions, and the rapid manner in which he seemed to grasp hold
of the shattered planes of earth, sea and sky, which he slashed on to paper and
canvas. I don't recall whether I may have been thinking of Marin at the time that
I did this oil study, but I recognize some similarities of style in it. The aggressive
enthusiasm of the painting technique seemed like a good way to try and capture
the feel of one of those magical, sparkling mornings, when you wake up to discover
that a heavy frost has crystallized the fields, and encrusted every leaf and blade of
grass with diamond dust, transforming the world into billions of faceted, reflections
of light.
