$1,800.00
Slow moving ice makes its way through the moonlight to the Arctic Ocean, where the glacier calves without ceasing.
Description
Glacier Calving in Moonlight, also known as Greenland Ice Sheet II, glacier valley, is an original one-of-a-kind fine art painting by Alison C. Dibble. It is oil on canvas, 24 x 24 x 1.5 inches (61 x 61 x 3.8 cm), unframed and ready to hang. The price ($1800 USD) includes handling, packing and shipping to the lower 48 states of the USA*.
My preoccupation with the Greenland Ice Sheet results from my perusal of the scientific literature regarding loss of ice during recent summers. In this depiction, which is from my imagination, a glacier is calving as it meets the ocean. Layers of ancient ice squeeze through a narrow valley in the moonlight, making wrenching noises as they pass bedrock outcrops. Beware, lower Manhattan and other low lying cities around the world. Sea level rise is real.
