The Old Summer House

The old Summer House

This little house on top of Storhofdi in Vestmannaeyjar was originally built as a "Summer house" some time before last war or before 1940 by building architect Sveinbjörn in Vestmannaeyjar.  He used it both for his family and also when he went Puffin hunting .  Today it looks like the sheep enjoy being around it.  
An Australian friend of mine who was visiting a while back took this interesting photo,  I could not resist painting it.  It is only a 15x15cm oil on masonite.
I will include the photo she took for you to look at but of course I changed it a fair  bit as I could see all sorts of colors and story in it.
I hope you enjoy this little explanation.

Lost

Flying without purpose

This is how I have felt for too long.
Where is my desire for creating?
I really must snap out of this vacuum and start painting again.

Where is my dinner!

Here are 18 of 28 paintings I am showing at Einars´ lounge show room at the Library.
The show opened last Thursday at 4pm with a full house of guests, friends, the Major, flowers and congratulations,  it was wonderful.
Many paintings got sold that day which made me very happy of course, so now I have covered all expenses plus.
My exhibition will stay open until first week of the new year.
I hope you will enjoy.
I will soon be off to my brother´s place over the festive season so I don´t expect to be posting much during that time.

These are lovely little rocky islands west of Heimaey.
They are my newest additional to my art exhibition on 15. December which will be held at the entrance of our Library.  I have been painting like mad and still working on the last one which is another portrait which I really need to finish in time!.
