Iceberg Melting Mostly Underwater
Iceberg Melting Mostly Underwater, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 80 x 60 x 4 cm G01, 2023. Print. The painting is of an iceberg: white against the sea and the sky. But underneath is the impression of the much larger, bluer and darker part that is underwater - with its more rounded shapes caused by melting in the relatively warm sea. The melting of a floating iceberg does not on its own contribute to rising sea levels. What causes the levels to rise are the often vast amounts of ice that transition from land to sea, either by melting on land or sliding into the sea. I am an international artist drawing attention to climate change through my Art.

Iceberg A23a: Climate Art That Captures the Moment
🌍 Iceberg A23a’s Final Stand – After 40 years adrift, this Antarctic giant is now grounded near South Georgia, melting fast. 🖼️ Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop captures the fragile beauty of vanishing icebergs before they disappear forever. 🔥 Global warming accelerates ice loss, raising sea levels & reshaping our planet. 🔗 Swipe to explore climate-inspired art & the story of A23a! #ClimateChangeArt #IcebergA23a #OceanConservation
Le Glacier d’Argentiere Mt Blanc Massif
Le Glacier d'Argentiere Mt Blanc Massif - Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 70 x 50 x 6 cm F30, 2012. Print. This sculptural watercolour painting is how The Artist recalls the glacier d'Argentiere in the 1970s. Today it has receded almost out of sight from the valley below. This is part of my global warming collection of watercolor paintings drawing attention to the impact of climate change on our glaciers.
Bossons Glacier aka The Mer De Glace in Chamonix France
The Bossons Glacier and Mt Maudit, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 50 x 70 x 5.5 cm F37, 2012. Print. On the road to Chamonix, the Glacier des Bossons is on the right and may be approached by a chairlift that in the winter used to take athletes to the top of the 1924 Olympic ski jump. The nearby peaks visible from the top of the lift are the Aiguille du Midi and also Mont Maudit that is very close to the actual peak of Mont Blanc. In this painting, the brown area at the bottom is where the glacier and ice-cavern used to be in the 1970s and 1980s. 200 years ago the glacier consisted of large blocks of ice that almost reached the valley floor. This is part of my global warming collection of paintings where I draw attention to the impact of climate change on glaciers.
Pollution Darkens Surface Causing Increased Ice Melt
Ice and Snow Darkened by Pollution, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 60 x 80 x 5 cm G06, 2023. Print. In recent decades, the many fires burning in very distant forested parts of the planet, together with the ever-increasing amounts of particulate matter being discharged from power plants and wood-burning stoves etc have been a large source of pollution that has found its way all over the planet. As the particles settle on the snow, they darken its surface; an effect that is now so noticeable that these once glistening-white ice-fields look, and indeed are, dirty. This is part of my global warming collection of paintings highlighting the climate change plight.
Scorched Earth
Drought, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 50 x 70 x 5.5 cm G14, 2024. Print. This imaginary landscape depicts a dried-up river bed and its surrounding land, which was once an arable area with trees and vegetation.

Pizza van submerged in flood waters
Toppo's Pizza Van Caught in Muddy Floodwater, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 50 x 70 x 5.5 cm G16, 2024. Print. The painting features a Pizza van stuck in floodwater of the swollen Garonne river which since 2017 has repeatedly flooded the French city of Bordeaux and riverside regions. Part of my Global Warming collection of paintings illustrating climate change.
Glacial Ice Collapsing into the Sea
Glacial Ice Collapsing into the Sea, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 70 x 70 x 5 cm G04, 2023. Print. We have all seen videos of huge cliffs of ice collapsing into the sea; this transfer contributes to rising sea levels. The collapse removes the back-pressure at the end of the glacier, such that the entire glacier is now able to move forward quicker. Part of my Global Warming series highlighting the plight of our planet!
Greenland's Fracturing Ice Sheet
Greenland's Fracturing Ice Sheet, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 60 x 80 x 6 cm G03, 2023. Print. This painting features the ice degradation on the ice plateaus of Greenland where fracturing ice leads to the appearance of vast holes in which icebergs seem to float. Part of my Global Warming series of paintings highlighting the plight of our planet!

The Moon Eclipsing the Sun
The Moon Eclipsing the Sun - Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 50 x 50 x 6 cm G12, 2023. Print. We live in a thin layer of breathable atmosphere that only extends very slightly above the surface of our planet. This atmosphere is - luckily - protected by our magnetic field, or it would have been 'blown away' millions of years ago by the so-called 'solar wind'. Our very existence results from a whole series of 'happy accidents' which makes us probably unique in the entire Universe - and very lonely.
