Cooling off with Icebergs

Recently I've been thrashing around mentally trying to find myself with my art.  Writing definitely helps.  I can share ideas and memories this way.  I have not been able to find something to paint that I can get inspired about. I've been toying with the idea of doing something that is more modern than the impressionist landscapes that I have done of our area.  I keep failing with abstract paintings.  They are not easy to conceive. I tend to be a perfectionist.  I guess after conquering the color green, which in itself is a real feat, I am just sick and tried of green and trees.  I needed a new challenge.  Lewis suggested icebergs.  Wow, why didn't I think of that.

So I've been collecting pictures on line of icebergs.  We have also been seeing a lot about the fact that with the warming of the earth that the glaciers seem to be calving off icebergs at a phenomenal rate.

Nature is my thing.  As I remember my grandfather quoting "The Heavens declare the glory of the Lord, and the firmaments showeth His handy work ".  This made a impression on me as a child and I still hold it dear to my heart.

So I  am going to attempt to paint icebergs. 

There is certainly a great variety in sizes and shapes. This should be fun.  So,let the fun begin.......
