Detailed description
Picture "View of Torvalds Head/ Shetland" (2005)
For many years I traveled to the Shetland Islands to paint. I always worked outside in the landscape. The island offered wonderful light for painting and I would set up the easel depending on the wind and weather. This picture was painted on a cloudy day in July, in a sheltered spot in the rocks. I work quickly and expressively with brush and oil paint to capture the mood of the moment. I use impressionistic lighting. The picture is framed in light lime wood. A steel wire provides a suspension. The signature is on the front.
