Paintings of Iceland

<p>This book is a combination of real and unreal.   I heard many stories from my Mother about the elves witches  trolls and hillfolk as I was growing up.  After I grew up I made many visits to Iceland to visit family.  I began painting the amazing landscapes I saw there but soon began to see why the Icelanders had  many stories of these magical creatures.  I began seeing trolls in the landscapes too.  So with very little effort  I  helped them come into view in my paintings.<br />I paint  paintings of Maryland landscapes still lifes  flora and fauna and portraits etc.  but  most enjoy   Iceland landscapes Norse mythology and what I call my “mindscapes”.   <br />If you are so fortunate to visit Iceland  someday you may  get to see them too.<br />And I hope the notes to artists might interest some.</p>
