Original Creation

The Nordic Seas

Mgiese84 17 Aug 2022

This one I did for a friend's upcoming wedding. She wanted to give her soon to be husband a painting which had a Nordic feel to it. This was the final result. She was ecstatic with it and I was pleased as well. Now I can't wait to see what her husband thinks.

Thanks Tony. And that canyon wall was the easiest thing of the entire painting lol

Nice. I love the foreground tree and the Viking ship is a great addition!

Thanks Brian. She kind of wanted the ship in there. The tree I added because I felt Bob whispering in my ear, "you know me, I gotta have a big ol tree." Lol plus it gave me a great idea to put in the flag

Really nice, i was on a business trip to Norway in 2015, the fjords are breathtaking. Your painting took me right back there....Well done Mgiese84
