Amiina

some strange but enchanting icelandic loveliness for this sunday afternoon:



tracks are from the first album, 'kurr' and the 'seoul' EP.

also, this featuring the late, great lee hazlewood which is just. . ridiculously beautiful:



side-notes: changed the 'ode' photographs. i think they better convey the tones now.

am currently working on three other canvasses of emma, two in oil and one the second 'ode' painting, as well as having started a sketchbook entitled 'the book of emma' which i'll be uploading pictures from in chronological order as they're done, as well as the paintings and studies i have on the go now, and the wonderful full-coloured piece, 'emma #3' which is possibly my favourite piece of my own work ever.

watch this space,

  5. boo! nobody else is interested? i'm trying to figure out how old this second clip must be - i'm sure i'm wrong thinking i saw it as a kid - but it feels so, so familiar. i could swear i saw something like this on TV 15 or 20 years ago, on nickelodeon, the childrens' network. the music is beautiful... it just sounds like snow.
