Birds in feeding frenzy

Last autumn there was a lot of fish swimming into the harbor in Vestmannaeyjar.  It did not take long for our seabirds to catch on and they came in hundreds from the sky diving in feeding frenzy.

I painted this with my palette knife on a 24x30cm stretched canvas.  

Blítt og Létt

I did this one for Myndlistafélag Vestmannaeyja exhibition at the end of the month.

The theme was from a line of an old song by Ása í Bæ "Blítt og Létt", which could be translated to "Soft and Light"

Painted with watercolor on 300g Not.

Sunsets painted in Höfn

I had a great group of girls in Höfn. 

The initial idea was to show them a way to paint sunsets which they with great gusto, they also created many other wonderful paintings as you can see in the background.
