This is my first attempt to post on our blog.

The image I put on the blog is a painting that will be in the Lightcatcher Museum, Whatcom Museum

Bellingham, WA. The exhibit is Earth In Balance and precedes a fall exhibit Vanishing Ice that will show paintings from 1775 to 2012 regarding  the Earth.

When my painting is hung I will send a picture.

ICE FIRE

ICE FIRE

ICE IS MELTING

I have seen the majestic blue sparkling glaciers.

Will I only be able to hold then in my memory?

FIRE IS RAGING

Wildfires move swiftly across our land and through our pristine forest.

Will our children ever know their beauty?

ICE IS MELTING

The oceans are rising to cover our edges.

How swiftly will we disappear parts of our lives?

ICE FIRE

Mother Earth is crying out to us.

Will we listen?
