Norwegian scenes
Some Norwegian painters:
1. Fritz Thaulow 2. Johan Eckersberg 3. Hans Gude
The last image is by Peter Vilhelm Ilsted, who was Danish, but Norway and Denmark were a single kingdom at one stage.
Yes, indeed. I love hunting down quality works for their inspiration value, but I do sometimes find it can also be overwhelming. The challenge is to absorb and digest these influences and make something of one's own.
I'm a sometimes artist based in Australia. This is a place to share images of the landscape painting genre that have caught my eye whilst exploring the internet and art books.
I have a special interest in the oil medium but may post some works in other media from time to time. I'll try to include some painting tips that I've picked up over the years.
