Fish Playing Pool

This is my contribution to this week´s WDE.
I had quite a few great photos to chose from, the fish one caught my eye straight away and here is my creation plus a photo to spark my creation.  I also included my chose of colors, they are mostly transparent.  The time I took was just under two hours which I am quite happy with.

My little Studio

I am trying to fit myself, my computer and my art in a very small 2 x 3 square meter work room, it is   coming along except for my floor easel, I still have to work out how to fit it.  Anyway, I set up my still life and did my little painting in comfort.

The Golden Fabric
An oil painting on a 15x15 cm canvas done for DPW Challenge to paint fabric.
The colors I used were; lemon yellow, yellow medium, genuine red and ultramarine blue.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my little Studio.

The Gold Winner

Portrait of a Ram

This the the price winner Ram which my niece Gudrun owns, she is a successful farmer on the south coast of Iceland, I yet have to go and visit her, she does not even know that I have painted her Ram, might put it on Facebook to surprise her.

This is a 15x15cm oil on masonite.

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.

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!.

The Gentle Cow

My friend
They have got such gentle faces, you can tell them anything and don't have to worry it getting anywhere else.
I think cows are a beautiful creatures.
