Oil on canvas. 24"x30".

This painting simply combines two of my favorite things to look at: icebergs and the landscape that is characteristic of the British Isles.

Fantastic job on the colours, I just love the sky. The trees and iceberg look look superb too.

Thank you. I like English scenery and the surreal shapes that icebergs make so I simply combined the two.
I'm glad you like the sky. I think it's one of my better ones, especially as it diffuses the hills in the background with its light and color. I need to do more backgrounds like that.

This is so beautiful. The details on the landscape are amazing. Also the ice burgh looks like a great white shark. :)

Thank you. It wasn't meant to look like a shark. It was supposed to resemble a grimace or frowning face, though. It's based on a photo.

Thanks. I did use several photos to work from but it was hand painted.

Thanks again. I use many photo references for some paintings, a limited amount for others and sometimes I like to be completely spontaneous. It all depends on what I'm going for with a particular painting.
