The Day of the Seamen

The Seamen Day
Last Sunday was the day of the year where Icelanders honor all seamen.
On tis day also was decided to have an auction and collect money for a good purpose.  Some of the island artists were asked to contribute to the event which we did gladly.  Quite many paintings sold for a good price and mine there included.
The seamen were very pleased with the outcome.

Here is the painting that I painted, it is of two young men learning the robes from the old guy.

 

 

 

Today we honor all Seamen.

Today we honor all seamen.

We go to church to honor them and their families and remember the lost ones by placing a flower wreath at the statue of a seaman.

It was a wonderful day.

Sadly I forgot my camera so am showing one of my painting here instead.  The idea of this painting came from my childhood memory like so many of my paintings.

Getting Ready

On the Dock
Here is is another one of my seamen´s painting.
These guys are getting ready to go out fishing again and are obviously checking out things... to see if everything is in order, yes?
This is oil on stretched canvas size 40x30 like all the ones I am painting lately.
All my work this size is Isl.Kr. 30,000

The Pier Talk

On the Dock

I got tired of painting landscape so went over to paint an illusion from my head like I do so often.  

Workers or Seamen often come to my head and also caring images which I will show you in my next blog.

These guys are of course talking about the latest issue, which is??  Oh well, I will leave that open for now.

This is oil on stretched canvas size 40x30cm

Hafnarsvæðið og Sjómannadagurinn

Allt er að verða tilbúið fyrir morgundaginn sem er Sjómannadagurinn!

Við stelpurnar höfðum mikið að gera í gær að hengja upp málverk eftir Beggu, Konný, Jóhönnu, Fríðu og sjálfa mig.  Ég var svo hamingjusöm að selja Bjarnarey til ánægðs viðskiptavinar og líka fiskilífskort til annars.  Ég þakka kærlega fyrir mig. 

Í dag verður stóri dagurinn og hafnarsvæðið orðið ótrúlega flott og má þakka börnum, unglingum og fullornum fyrir þessa frábæru vinnu!!
