This is a painting of a small fishing village on the coast of a mountainous region. I had inspiration from Nusfjord: A Traditional Lofoten Fishing Village in Norway. Nusfjord is one of Norway's oldest and best-preserved fishing villages, located on Flakstadøya in Flakstad municipality, part of Lofoten. It's a beautiful 91km drive from Svolvær, the main town on the islands, and 27km from Leknes.
The village is made up of red and yellow wooden houses on stilts over the water. The mountains in the background are snow-capped and the sky is a mix of orange and blue. The water is a deep blue and there is a small boat in the foreground. The painting is done in a loose, impressionistic style.
