Day 2 - En Plein Air - Eiðisdrangar

Day 2

Eiðisdrangar

Plein Air 

I sat in my car painting Eiðisdrangar, it was a lovely day but quite windy.

All these paintings are a one hour challenge.

Eiðisdrangar

This is one of my latest oil painting from one of my favorite spots on north shore of my island, 

I used both brush and palette knife in making it and am I quite pleased

 with the result.

The most enjoyable thing for me is that,  it was selected by www.art365.is

to show in August month on their coming Calendar.

The Beauty of Edisdrangar

"Feel the waves

Feel the softness

Feel the caring of nature"

Plein air "The Three Rocks"

"Hani, Hæna and Grasleysa"

These are the names of the three little islands.

This is one of my plain air watercolor that I did the other day when George, my artist pen friend joined me in our little experiments of plein air painting.

It is much less fuss to carry the watercolor items on location than the oil but, I think I enjoy the oil better even if it takes longer.

It is such a difference painting "plein air" on location than painting in a studio, colors and everything come so to live.

We only spent a few minutes painting as it was too cold to sit for long.

Below is George and I painting, I took the photo myself, I forgot to ask George to take a photo of myself painting...:(
