Photo of one of my art prints framed and hanging on a wall. The art print is of one of Icelandic landscape paintings - 'Coloured hills of Baรฐstofa' it's a geothermal area where the hills have all sorts of colours with orange, white and reddish earth.

I have a small series of art prints made from some of my paintings โ€“ could make a lovely gift!
Here Iโ€™ve painted the rich orange colours of the geothermal hills of Baรฐstofa in Krรฝsuvรญk, which were bright in the late afternoon sun.

Another #pleinair outing during the summer months to Rauรฐhรณlar. The colours were so vibrant in the sunlight - such a fun area to paint in all seasons!

Oil painting of volcanic eruption which happened in Iceland 2021. The yellow and orange heat of the lava contrast agains the cool blues of the late evening

It was fun pushing the warm and cool contrast in this painting from my Fagradalsfjall eruption 2021 series.

oil painting made on location during a trip to Husafell. The painting is of the waterfall 'Lambarfoss' - what really struck me was the explosion of colour around the waterfall, with bright green and orange moss decorating the rocks contrasting against the barren rocky hillside.

New #pleinair oil painting of Lambarfoss for #waterfallwednesday I painted this on location during our trip to Husafell last month. I was hiking around lambartungur and came across a little track which led me to this beauty!

Oil painting made en plein looking over towards รžรณrsmรถrk. Over the green vegetation in the foreground in the bright hazy distance you can see the mountains and glacier.

An old #pleinair sketch from a trip driving around Fljรณtshlรญรฐ. Looking owards รžรณrsmรถrk there was some some stunning light, illuminating the distant glacier and mountains in this warm hazy mist.

NEW mini oil painting, available framed and mounted. On the shoreline in Vesturbรฆr, looking out over the sea towards Keilir, the evening sky was bathed in pink light creating a beautiful palette of purples and blues.

Random landscape digital painting. A red-dressed person is watching some valleys running up the horizon where a yellowish sky is framing a red moon.

Close up photo of an oil painting of the mountain Hatta in Mรฝrdalsveit South of Iceland. The very tops have dusting on snow which disappears into the earthy and warm moss tones of the mountain side.

Detail of my painting of the mountainside in the South of Iceland travelling towards Vik. I took this trip on my first ever visit to Iceland. Little did I know that it would later become my home!
