Beautifully composed with an interesting impressionistic tone. I like your choice of colors and motion that create a strong emotion and connection with the setting you portray. I find this picture very compelling.
touching expression of our 'polar wounds' - beeindruckend wie du diese für uns alle schmerzliche Entwicklung ins Bild fasst - wahrlich tiefgründiges Werk!!!
You really made it look like water and ice. This is a well-planned composition that expresses the message and your talent as an artist. Great work Annette!
This (color wise) is so different that I find it interesting, and the message pertains so succinctly to what’s happening today (warming on a global scale), if it is caused by man or not, we should err on the side of caution and do what we can to slow or god willing stop the warming. Maybe we will heed the message of our planet and stop the madness?
The Ice Caps have been there for about 3 million years. The planet has been here at least 20 times longer. As the weather cycles become more scewed the changing seasons will be less noticable.
Annette this is so beautiful and mystical!I love the haunting fragile softness of the textures and colors!!!Superb stunning and uniquly crafted!!!

Touches my heart....My glaciers are precious and I'm disturbed when I visit and see the changes. I know it's their nature to change, but this is beyond nature. Here's to hope that it's not too late to undo what we have done....
Annette: I can feel the texture of this fine piece of your art. In the winter the Lake in front of my house is a grand expanse of ice and snow as far as the eye can see. You can hear the ice crack and moan as it begins to melt. Great work! "Joey"
Wonderful painting Annette!!! Your work always evokes some sort of emotion from me...I just love your style and the meaning you are able to put into your paintings.
