It's hard to believe that it's been four years since my dad, Alaskan artist and arctic geologist, Marvin Mangus, passed away from complications from his Parkinson's Disease.
Since then, my mother has let me know in no uncertain terms that she doesn't like it at all when I post dad's paintings on the internet, because of copyright protection concerns. I don't entirely agree with this internet ban philosophy, but hey, it's my mom -- so I don't. What a good son, right? What I do instead, as a legitimate work-around, is grab images already posted on the web by others. This small painting is showcased on the 2 friends a most unusual gallery blog/website, with this caption.

"We received an absolutely beautiful Marvin Mangus painting yesterday. It is already hanging on the wall with two new Henne’s (note from Don: Ellen Henne Goodale, a family friend), a Robertson, and a Scott McDaniel. You will feel like you are in a museum but you can actually buy the art."
Here's a plug for the 2 friends:
