the light and atmosphere over the glacier was insaaaaane!🤩 I stopped to paint a little study of Þórisjökull whilst on a roady trip. The rain came over in waves but I was able to get a bit of protection under the door of the car boot! #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair #oilpainting

🔎🎨Get up close to my latest painting ‘ Strolling through the lava channel’. I love the crazy rock formations formed from the lava. I applied the paint thickly with various brushes & knives to get more interesting textures for these rocky areas. #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #scape #art

It's important to me to experience the places I paint. On location the weather & light greatly influences the landscape at that moment. On my visit to Búrfellsgjá the sun was out and created a very different scene with half of the channel covered in shade. #oilpainting #iceland #art #scape

NEW painting - come and join me for stroll down this winding path between these jagged rocks that rise around you in this 7,000 year old lava channel. This is the 1st studio painting I’ve done of Búrfellsgjá even though I have hiked here soo many times!  #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #scape

Take a walk with me in the beautiful area of Krýsuvík, it’s late summer and the rare sun illuminates the hills in a beautiful warm glow. Nestled in the distance amongst these colourful hills is Sveinshús, once a home to a local artist. #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #scape

Woah! I somehow have over 1000 followers here! 🎉 I have never even gotten close to this number on other social channels! Thank you for all the follows, likes and reposts you lovely people! Look forward to continuing to share my art journey up in the cold north with you❤️🤘

The experience of seeing a glacier is something else! Here are some studies I did on location over the summer. I’d been trying to paint from this vista all week but it was constantly covered in cloud... until the last day! 😅 Hooray! #iceland #landscape #scape #art #pleinair #oilpainting Photo

Everyone was reminded of Iceland’s fiery heart with the eruption in Fagradalsfjall 2021. I will never forget avidly following the eruption via the webcams & with my paintbrush. It was the first eruption I ever experienced with my own eyes. #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #scape

🎃👻In the spirit of #Halloween how many ghosts can you see in this painting? It was inspired by the line ‘moon looms, death rides’ from an Icelandic ghost story & Skogafoss was the perfect backdrop for such a spectral rendezvous! #landscapepainting #oilpainting #folktale #landscape #ghoststory #art

With everything being digital these days I find it especially refreshing to unplug and step outside. When I do – it’s such a wonderful feeling! On location I make small studies, gathering first hand how I felt, the colours I saw, how the light and weather affected the scene in that very moment.

You know that feeling when you’re on a walk and the sun comes out making everything glow – it’s just so uplifting! It’s that feeling & sense of light I wanted to capture by #pleinair painting in that moment, on the shoreline in Ægisíða. #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #scape

📢 NEW painting! I LOVE this waterfall - I love how the cascading water looms in this dark alcove cut into the craggy hillside. This contrast was made even more stark when I visited the waterfall in overcast misty weather – classic Iceland! #iceland #landscape #scape #art #waterfallwednesday

A #pleinair study from last year’s adventures in Húsafell. Looking to capture the light and atmosphere over Sudra-Hadegisfell, it was sooo pretty! 😍 #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #scape

🎬 Little process video of one of my latest paintings. From rough sketch and block in through to the final. Vatnshlíðarhorn’s shadow | Oil | 24 x 18cm | Available #video #process #oilpainting #iceland #art #landscapeart #landscape

I have a small series of art prints made from some of my paintings – could make a lovely gift! Here I’ve painted the rich orange colours of the geothermal hills of Baðstofa in Krýsuvík, which were bright in the late afternoon sun. #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art

Another #pleinair outing during the summer months to Rauðhólar. The colours were so vibrant in the sunlight - such a fun area to paint in all seasons! #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #scape

It was fun pushing the warm and cool contrast in this painting from my Fagradalsfjall eruption 2021 series. Volcano - Day 70. 07.06.2021 | Oil | Art prints available

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! #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art

An old #pleinair sketch from a trip driving around Fljótshlíð. Looking owards Þórsmörk there was some some stunning light, illuminating the distant glacier and mountains in this warm hazy mist. Entrance to Þórsmörk | Oil on toned paper #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art

NEW mini oil painting, available framed and mounted. On the shoreline in Vesturbær, looking out over the sea towards Keilir, the evening sky was bathed in pink light creating a beautiful palette of purples and blues. #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art #sunset

Plein air painting in Þingvellir national park. 🍂Managed to find the last of the autumn colours after gale force winds stripped most of the foliage 😭 Autumn never lasts long here! #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair #autumn

🎬 Earlier this month I had a fantastic week in Húsafell, west Iceland. We actually had great weather so lots of plein air painting! Here’s a little overview of the #adventure – will share more stuff soon! #video #oilpainting #iceland #art #landscapeart #landscape

Wish upon a (red) star (2025) #art

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! Hatta, Mýrdalsveit | Oil #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art #mountains

Here Sveifluháls in Krýsuvík is shown at sunset, as the last rays of sun hit the top of the peaks. I love capturing these beautiful moments in the Icelandic landscape. Sunset at Krýsuvík | A4 Art Print | Framed or unframed #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art

There are always so many colours in these hills - so much fun to paint! Plein air outing from a while back up on Hellisheiði. Planning to do some more hikes in this area 🥾🎨❤️ #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair #scape

📢 NEW painting! I was on my way out of Krýsuvík when I saw the low warm sun hitting Vatnshlíðarhorn. The colours were so stunning that I slammed on the brakes (joking) but I did pull over & paint some colour notes which I then used to create this #landscapepainting #iceland #landscape #scape #art

🔎🎨Close up of one of one of my latest paintings. Had a lot of fun pushing the brush work on this one, the moss and rocks are full of gorgeous texture that I wanted to convey. Rauðhólar Pride Rock| Oil | 24 x 18cm | Available #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art

This is a little sketch from a few years back of Kirkufell in Snaefellsnes. Such a beautiful area - I really need to get back there and paint more! Kirkjufell | Gouache on paper | Plein Air #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair #scape

I’ve been working on a series of ‘mini’ paintings which are available framed and mounted. Hallgrímskirkja forms such a prominent and recognisable part of Reykjavik's skyline, you often see it whilst travelling about in the city. #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art

I loved the shapes in this little rocky ridge I came across in Krýsuvík! It was quite windy - managed to hunker down by a rock and get some colour notes before the light changed! #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair #scape

🎬 #PLEINAIR PAINTING : Teitsgil, Selgil Canyon. Follow me on an amazing hike where I made a little painting of the frozen waterfall. Totally worth it! Think I’ll use this on location study for a larger painting! #video #adventure #oilpainting #iceland #art #landscapeart #landscape

NEW painting! A great example of the fantastic shapes of the rock formations in Rauðhólar. The dramatic swoop - it's an Iceland version of pride rock! One of my favourite areas to paint, it's like another world. #landscapepainting #iceland #oilpainting #landscape #scape #art

I stopped and painted these beauties just near Borgarnes. As ever, I enjoyed a moody overcast atmosphere but was very pleased that it started to rain after I had finished and was packing up! Not always that lucky 😅 #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair #scape

Oil painting of the Fagradallsfjall volcanic eruption is available, framed and mounted. This marked 'day 34' in a series of 100 paintings I did of the 2021 eruption. Fagradallsfjall eruption, No.34 | Oil | Available #landscapepainting #oilpainting #volcano #iceland #art #traditionalart

Next set of 3 #pleinair mini-paintings of the sea. Which is you favourite? I’d love to hear which one you like the best in the comments! I think I would have to pick the bottom left – I love a moody sky and choppy sea! #landscapepainting #oilpainting #seascape #landscape #scape #art

This studio painting marked the final & 100th painting of my Volcano a Day project! This scene shows just how much the eruption had grown, the whole surrounding #landscape swallowed by lava! Fagradallsfjall eruption, No.100 | Oil #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #art #scape #volcano

An oldie, painting at the magnificent Gullfoss! Here I’m up on the canyon looking over the waterfall which plunges down into the ravine. #waterfallwednesday #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #pleinair

Fast-forward 360 #pleinair painting in the beautiful Fagridalur! It was in winter earlier this year so we still had snow on the mountain side. Gah it was so lovely especially as the sun came out. #landscapeart #oilpainting #iceland #landscape #art #winter #scape
