 It was a short Iceland trip years ago, but it was during wintertime and full of life-long memories. I was so lucky that our golden-circle bus tour stopped near a small church so that I could take some photos of the iconic Icelandic horses grazing in the distance.

 Traveling through Iceland in Winter means less daylight, but it also means great colors in the sky. Although we hadn't seen any Aurora Borealis, the colors in the morning and evening skies were absolutely amazing.

We no longer build fireplaces for physical warmth.
we build them for the warmth of the soul;
we build them to dream by, to hope by,
to home by.

This time I've used the vibrancy of QOR watercolor pigments and I love them a lot. The paper isn't really my thing, too smooth
but great for learning.

Connecting subjects in our watercolor paintings is an exercise at Jean Haines's Online Art School. I love these special horses very much, some are living near to us in Lower Saxony, and I have visited Iceland years ago and enjoyed watching and photographing them in their natural surrounding.

Quick sketch/study for a larger painting - Lake Thingvellir, Iceland. I’ve visited this magical place years ago during November with amazing cold weather, a very clear sky and so soft and romantic sundowns, it was unbelievable beautiful. Now I I’ll start with some paintings from my memories/own photos.

Sometimes a quick sketch is so perfect, done without any pressure on your shoulders, just following the own inspiration and the feeling for the place you'd like to paint. Do you know what I mean? Hopefully that the large version comes out so fresh and loose like the sketch. Let's cross the brushes for it!!
