high points: meringues and church's icebergs

My mother and I are smitten with a painting that hangs in the Rhode Island School of Design Art Musuem, a painting of icebergs at sunset by William Bradford. He and Church and perhaps others made several arctic trips to paint the mammoths which make such compelling subjects. It is easy to imagine a life painting only icebergs or photographing only ice.

I hope it's a great year for icebergs. As for meringues, beware. They go deep.
