Birds in feeding frenzy

Last autumn there was a lot of fish swimming into the harbor in Vestmannaeyjar.  It did not take long for our seabirds to catch on and they came in hundreds from the sky diving in feeding frenzy.

I painted this with my palette knife on a 24x30cm stretched canvas.  

The old ship yard

Old and New

I painted this painting for a friend of mine as a thank you gift.

His work place shows there with the "S" on the wall, the name of his business is Áhaldaleigan, which translates to "rental of various equipments".  The old boats are the old timers up on the abandoned shipyard which was our play ground in the olden days.  The mountain is our new Eldfell which came up in last eruption 1973.  So this painting is telling the old and the new.

I hope you enjoy.
