An Apple a day keeps the doctor away

Yes, it is glowing from good health!

This apple was my first attempt at the Apple Challenge but ended up too realistic so painted over it and got it looking more like the Challenge but you can see it at my Daily Painting Challenge blog.

The Colors I used were lemon yellow, ultramarine blue, a touch of cadmium yellow and Cadmium red and my brush was hog hair "8.

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.

My challenge with this painting was to express the beautiful evening glow we often get here on the island when everything is so calm and peaceful.
  I hope I have succeeded.

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.
