One of my favorite theme’s – Storm – The painting has taken over a year to complete. I work almost exclusively with raw oil paint and the thicker I apply the paint the longer it takes to dry, building up the layers over time. Oil paint dry’s slowly and the different techniques I use require different amounts over drying time.

Cycle touring Ísland was immense, the best cycling experience of my life and I can’t wait to go back. For now It is time to play catch up. I was cycle touring Ísland with my son for 3 months a Skógafoss Íslandnd we cycled the ring road and crossed the centre from East to North and North to South. And of course cycling the ring road it is impossible to miss Skógafoss. But that is just the first waterfall in a series of 30 waterfalls all spectacular. Here are my first small artworks about Skógafoss

New drawings from my 3 month cycle touring artist in residence in Iceland
I will be adding drawings to this blog post over the next days and posting larger art works as they are finished to future blog post’s . These are from Askja in the Vatnajokull national park. We cycled across Iceland twice, and if you are not aware then know that there are no shops …. no convenience stores ….. no fuel stations …. no bus stops ….. no trains …. we took with us enough food supplies to last us 10 day’s and we got it just about right …. on our eleventh day as we rejoined the ring road we had a couple of cupa soups to keep us going until we reached a campsite. Water was no problem though. You can drink from almost any stream or river in Iceland

Storm at sunrise Brechiek Ynysek Syllan. Oil on canvas 76×153 cm 2023 £2500
The artwork is a response to nature, painted outside and finished in the studio. The painting explores our connection with nature, more than that, it explores landscape and seascape in the broader context of how weather systems develop that the sun drives the climate, It is about interconnection, philosophically it is an attempt to impress upon the viewer that we are not a separate creation from nature. That our consiousness, our self awareness evolved out of the same laws of nature that govern the evolution of the universe. From this philosophical point of view arises the paradigm that consciousness is the universe becoming self aware, holding a metaphorical mirror up to itself and asking the question what am I ….. Then the choice of how we treat nature arises. As we are nature it is in reality about how we treat nature, each other and ourselves. It teachers us about our fundamental responsibility to nature.
