Bergur

Bergur

I wanted to name this painting ‘The Icelandic Horse’ as it’s an unusual composition for me where the horse is standing still and posing for the viewer.

Even though I call the painting Bergur, the horses name is actually Sægrímur frá Bergi

Willingly the gray from the muted basalt columns in the background come through him in parts while other parts get some hints of color. I didn’t want to make any details on the rocks as it might compete with the horse which is the main focus.
