My inspiration for this painting (written as I travelled around Iceland in August 2018)

Rays of delicate light shimmer and dance on the horizon 
As glints of magic flicker from the land
Grey desolate rocks as far as the eye can see
Covered with a blanket of green mossy fronds
The delicate flowers and dainty grasses 
Dance across Meadows touched by the wind
Still waters of the lakes reflect the beauty of the skies as 
Tufts of delicate purple heather adorn the gentle green meadows
Rivers wind their way through landscapes green and grey
The icy blue waters of godafoss thunder down the gorge
Leaving the Viking pagan gods in the past
Azure Wide fjords with fingers of land
Wild Rearing Icelandic ponies full of charm
Plateaus of mountains with green valleys between
Dormant volcanic craters stand over endless black volcanic sand
The blonde Icelandic ponies wander free 
Through meadows of cotton grass featherlight and white
Fluffy low clouds shroud the heavy mountain tops whilst 
Gigantic roaring waterfalls fall to the shaken earth
Undulating Meadows with majestic Viking ponies
Beneath sugar dusted summits and soaring gulls
Water gushes and crashes through rock filled gorges 
the gentle steamy waters of the blue lagoon
Cocooned by The craggy dark grey of the lava field
Leaving a corner of my heart in this jewel of an island so far far away. 
Unfinished business, Knowing I will return some day……

Iceland is a land of adventure, mystery, geology along with a sense of adventure and experiences to connect you to the nature and the outstanding landscapes that appear continuously as you travel. Wherever I travel I am drawn to the flowers of the region, both those I recognise and those that are new to me. In the work that is created the flowers give you a feel of the sense of place and the colours of the season of the year. I hope that you will feel a sense of exploration and a sense of anticipation in my work inspired by the places that I experience. I hope that you can experience them too and be inspired to travel to the places that draw you to them.

Iceland promises a sense of adventure where you can explore and let your imagination run free in the elements of the natural world that you can experience across the island. 

“There’s a reason why Jules Verne chose the place where the glacier was, where we start to descend into the center of the earth. That area specifically has magical powers and people come to this place from all over the world. I actually think that’s true of all Iceland. I think it’s so special, apart from the water and air being so clean.” Anita Briem

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust

Looking at this painting you will be captivated by the bright vivid colours that will delight your eyes and your heart. You can feel the energy and the heart-centred love with which this painting has been created that will stir your emotions and inspire you. You will experience the beauty and shimmer of the metallics and glitters that sparkle and shine to brighten your day.

About Charron

I am about creating connections. Between people and the natural world. Between the mind, body and spirit. Between people, their stories and their message to the world. Between emotions, intuition and energies that are present in our lives.

My art is about allowing the creation and the magic to unfold naturally, in the moment and in an intuitive way that evolves visually before me through both paintings and installations and embracing the unknown by channelling the inspiration from the experiences and knowledge of the world around me. I rarely plan any of my work as I trust myself on an emotional and creative level to create the work that I feel deep within my heart.

My work comes from the heart. It comes from my spirit and emotions. I connect with our inner child to create art that is vibrant and colourful with deep meaning. My art is an exploration of our spiritual selves. It is taking my imagination and putting the intangible beauty into an earthly form for you to deeply connect with on a spiritual and a happiness level.
Most of my work is inspired by nature and the outdoor world both of which are connected by the stories and messages that each can convey through art.
My art is a constant journey of discovery, leading to new places and new ideas. There will never be enough time to create all that I want and need to show and share with the world.

“Each artist follows their own spiritual path. You have to believe that it’s your dream and your life and you have permission to be who you want to be. As an artist you must work and create to let your ideas or energies become reality. You have to make space for the ideas and inspiration to flow to create and develop new work. No one can tell you what to do. You act on your intuition and forge your own path. You need to be tenacious, to work hard, to follow your own true path.” Charron
