The Beauty of Edisdrangar

"Feel the waves

Feel the softness

Feel the caring of nature"

Winter Dream

This little painting is going to my Artist Friend in Cape Town, I am hoping she will like this little present, a friend of mine is bringing it to her.
The image came from my mind on to a small 15x15cm board, painted in one session.

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.

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.

Oil on Masonite size 20x20cm applied with a palette knife.

It was a birthday present to my girlfriend.  She really loved it.  Sometimes we create things for a reason.

A small 15x20cm oil painting.

This was a gift to one of my friends from USA. 

Togetherness

I was in such a summer mood that I had to paint something soft and nice.  I hope you can feel what I am trying to express.  It is only a small 20x15cm oil painting done manly with a palette knife.

George taking notans

Here is my artist friend in USA taking notans for his future painting. I had only a small photo to go from. I decided to experiment with large brush strokes and show the light surrounding my friend where he is sitting in the sun and taking notes in his sketch book. I hope this little painting expresses some of my feelings. I might even post it to him when it is dry enough.  This is only a small 15x15cm oil painting on canvas.

Girlfriends

 

This one is a birthday present for my girlfriend in Australia.  I made it looking like a warm summer day as I remember it from the time I used to live there.  It is a small oil painting painted on a piece of canvas.  I just finished painting it so now I have to wait until it is dry enough to be posted.
