"At the Edge of the World"

I usually make a project before making a new painting, but sometimes I like to simply turn on the music and let it inspire some thoughts and ideas that will slowly take shape under my brush. It's always a magical experience. That's how I created this painting and the inspiration came from Edvard Grieg's Holberg Suite, Op.40. I have rediscovered Grieg lately and I'm fascinated with this piece especially. 
Do try to play it (from youtube if you don't have it) while looking at my painting and let me know what you think...



"At the Edge of the World" 17x23cm, oil on board


I hope you had a great weekend :)
Have a lovely week, see you soon!
