Solace

After a hiatus, I am finally back to painting with a change of scenery, literally :)  And lotsa inspiration from the surreal place called Iceland from my latest travels..

Where the elements strike stunningly close, where mother nature is omnipresent in its immense powers, and most of all, the fascinating Icelandic sun..  ever so close to earth, ever so bright, as if tempting one to touch its unseeable whiteness in the cold wintry air.

So it is that I started with painting the unforgettable Iceland sun. Which is strange as I rarely paint sunsets, a rather cliche subject to me.  But the Land of Fire and Ice changed my mind. And this may be the start of many more, in hopefully the start of a series that explores the feelings that this indelible abstract harsh lands in the cold volcanic north stirred in the artist in me..
