Paintings of Iceland: and resident trolls - Paperback

by Elisabet Stacy-Hurley (Author)

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.
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".
If you are so fortunate to visit Iceland someday, you may get to see them too.
And I hope the notes to artists might interest some.
