Overwhelming magnificence!
Juneau's Plein Rein Painters painted at the Mendenhall Glacier this morning.
Some did very well capturing the scene ... I was one who was quite bowled over
(again) at how beautiful it was at our "drive-up" glacier.
So as others painted view slices to narrow the scene
- I zoomed in on an ice berg!
and also since I had them, decided to use pastels ... what the heck.
This was the set up and scene. The chunk of ice I was painting is rather small in the photo.
in process
When I got the painting home, my husband said, "Looks like a big frog..."
and ... and ... it does! So I didn't fight it, silly thing.
It just is.
The Tlingit people of Alaska have a Legend about Frogs, believing they are good luck. I am happy that this frog wanted to be painted, lucky me!
Thank you and may you find frogs in unexpected places too.
