Geysir Art print on canvas

Having lived in Iceland my whole life, and never painted a picture of The Great Geysir I decided I just had to paint it. I also decided a study Strokkur, The Great Geysir’s neighbor who is very active. Geysir has had his good years and bad years, at times it has been dormant for years at a time, as the earth shifts during earthquakes it has affected the Geysir and either make it more or less active. The english word geyser derives from the name of The Great Geysir. For someone who has never seen a geyser, the sight is overwhelming. This Icelandic landmark is a spectacular natural phenomenon beyond description. Walking around this natural wonder, one experiences the intensity of the forces of nature while realizing our own fragility. A pot of boiling water takes on new dimensions.
