Culture Night in Reykjavik 2013

Arion bank decided to take part in Culture Nights in Reykjavik by inviting artist in Iceland to show their work.  The works were to be shown on every street corner in the city and surrounding area.

Here is myself at the Bus Stop with Grensásveg where my painting is displayed in the Bus Shelter.

It was great fun to partake in this unique idea of Arion Bank.

Thank you Arion bank!

Going walkabout

Hi there my good friends, I think I might go walk-a-bout like the Aboriginals do, I hope you keep my borrow safe until my return.
No, I am not going mad, just thought I might say something silly for a change!
Have a wonderful day!

Culture night in Reykjavik.

Götusýning 2013

I am so proud that my painting will be one of the five hundred chosen to be displayed in the streets of our city Reykjavik during the Culture nights 20-27th of August, 2013.

South island

This is one of my favorite islands seen from Vestmannaeyjar.

I used these colors intentionally as I found the contrast quite appealing and unusual at the same time, 

I hope you like it too.

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...:(
