Series Nothing distracts the mountain

When I was young, landscape pictures weren't exactly fashionable and I thought to myself; "I can paint a landscape when I'm old, then everyone cares." Oil painting was actually not well seen even when I was in Myndó handó, it should rather do something that seemed to refer to a "deeper truth." To me never did well with this deep truth, I started painting in a slightly wild style which went well until I got over the existential crisis and went to the mug doodles which were kinder and on a human scale. One of my main hobbies is walking through Iceland's nature, through grassy countryside, valleys and beaches and looking at the mountains and glaciers. It has made me want to paint a landscape, I decided now that it was time to try the landscape but also promise to include some cruise dolls, so it won't be too deep.
