~Hans Christian Andersen
Seen Frozen yet? I am hoping to soon. This Art Thursday, we're looking at Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen. Aren't they full of glorious (if chilly) blues and whites?

Beautiful pieces depicting the Snow Queen. Isn't it interesting how many of them have brown as a counterpoint?
The photo of the ballerina is stunning. She holds her head and arms in perfect position as she leaps.
Gorgeous pictures. I hadn't noticed before how the brown was used in the pictures. Also remembered long ago when my mother was talking about "warm" and "cool" colors, I always insisted that blue looked warmer to me than red. Blue was a cozier color. I know that's not correct, and I can understand it now. But I still find blue to be inviting.
I love this Mythology. This creature is fascinating. Yukionna's (snow women in japanese)
