Watercolor at the South Pole

Here at the blog, we would like to highlight a past artist who pushed the boundary of where art can be taken. Arthur Beaumont (http://www.navyart.com/) had a distinguished career, and his masterwork of the first watercolor painting of the South Pole in open air (http://www.navyart.com/bidpages/southpole.htm), using torpedo alcohol nonetheless, exemplifies the remarkable splendor achievable even in the most adverse conditions.
