This painting is one of Remington's most experimental in his use of color and atmospheric effects. The green ice in this painting has been identified as the actual color of the ice on the St. Lawrence River near Clayton, New York This foggy spring river scene is a far cry from the main stream of Western art and the sharp detail of illustration Remington had left behind.
