Searching in the Dark

 Iceland Spar

Icelandic Spirit

Iceland Spar, the Icelandic medieval Sun Stone used by the Vikings
on their ships to locate the direction of the Sun in dark, foggy and overcast skies.

Hekla

Hekla is an active volcano in the south of Iceland. During the Middle Ages the Icelandic

Norse called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell'

The artwork above represents an adventure into Hekla, Icelandic Spar and the Island of Alderney

in the Channel Isles where I used to spend my early childhood years each Summer.

I was being treated by my Homeopathic doctor with Hekla for a tumour at the time of the revelations that unloaded themselves as the painting above. 

I no longer have the tumour.

But my fascination and respect with minerals, crystals and the earth itself grows continuously.

Artwork is a combination of acrylic paint, airbrush, ink and photoshop
