A WINNER AND A PAINTING


After getting some very kind comments and emails after my last post, I decided to do a drawing for the little painting on Monday night and  the winner was Jyothi Sethu.  She lives in India and her  lovely art work is here.

I've been waiting to get something new before posting, and did finish a painting on Wednesday, but then couldn't find my cord to download my photos.  Finally found it and here is my painting:


Lamplugh Glacier  watercolor painting8x15"


This is from a photo I took last August when we took our boat up into Glacier Bay.  We also took a kayak, and Van dropped my friend Judy and me off in front of Lamplugh Glacier and we went ashore to the beach in front of the glacier.  I'm not sure if the water here is a tide pool of glacier melt.  The glacier is receding, but at least part of it is tidewater when the tide is high.   I really need to read up on them.... things are certainly changing up there.  There were icebergs in Icy Strait where our beach is 35 years ago when we moved here, but we don' t see icebergs now until we are almost to the glaciers.

Dear Carole,

The greatest happiness is finding our name in a blog by a great artist. I actually don't desire something when I go through all the blogs which I am able to. It is very kind of you. But what I really would have is watching your blog again and again. That's why I requested you to keep on. But when I saw my name in your blog, I was elated and I have brought everybody in the house near the computer to show my name in your blog. I don't want to lose your painting and so I would certainly contact you over the e-mail.

The latest work Lamplugh Glacier is a great work and could feel the chill you have represented through the apt color scheme.

Thanks...

Gorgeous painting! I wanted to see it bigger so I tried to click on it but sadly it doesn't get bigger. Do you do that intentionally and/or did you know there's a way to upload the images so that when you click them it takes you to a full size image?

Hmmmm... I thought they did get biger, but this one and the last few don't, but previous ones do. I must have done something I shouldn't have done.

This is a lovely piece. Very well executed and very evocative.
