NANCY LEE MORAN B&W Photo of Frog in water, Painted by Hand

Lynell Morgan took this photo when she and Nancy Lee visited the Printery House, a publisher of greeting cards, in the Missouri countryside one summer. We walked to nearby Conception Abbey, where we spied this frog plus many others. Nancy Lee Moran painted over the black and white photograph with oil glazes, adding each color by hand.

If a child is seeing the art with you, here is a story for him or her, from a froggy friend:

Jumbo Eyes
I know how to be safe, hidden in the lily pads. My jumbo-size eyes stick up, watching for a fly or moth to hover over the water for a drink. Then my sticky tongue leaps out and my mouth opens wide. In one gulp, I have a tasty meal, swallowed whole. Yum yum!
