Warner Creek Icicles was done from several photos taken near my home on Warner Creek, near the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. Lots of small rock cliffs, hemlock groves and marshy areas make endless opportunities for painting landscapes around here. I had been visiting some of the local 'ice caves' and then noticed there were many ice formations along the creek. Though small, the icicles picked up colors from the rocks and the water repeated it back; harmonics of light. These formations changed daily and sometimes will get quite large if there is a seep in the rock that keeps the water flowing.
