Sofatara near Namaskard, Iceland

I've been asked to do a painting that captures the feeling of the Sofatara - not easy when it's steaming hot water, mud and a sulphurous stench. But here's the first attempt! Having been there makes it easier and it was fun looking back over the old photos. It's not of an actual view more a compilation. Meanwhile, back to the elephant cards - I'm also working (in my head) on the idea of a pebble themed small quilt - either to hang
or as a cushion.
