In the world of art, inspiration can come from the most unexpected sources. For my latest project, I turned to two artists who have significantly influenced my creative journey. Mary Iverson, a renowned painter and public artist, and Bela Kontuly, the Hungarian master of vibrant colour palettes, might seem like an unlikely pair to blend together. Still, the result is a captivating contrast that allows me to recreate my favorite place in time: the grandeur of the ancient Roman Empire.
Mary Iverson: The Globalisation vs. Environment Clash
Mary Iverson is a painter and public artist known for her thought-provoking works. She passionately portrays the collision between globalisation and the environment. Her art takes us on a surreal journey where container ships collide with national parks, resulting in post-apocalyptic scenarios that challenge our perspective on the world.
Bela Kontuly: The Master of Color
Bela Kontuly, on the other hand, was a Hungarian painter celebrated for his rich and vibrant color palette. His ability to manipulate tone and texture is nothing short of breathtaking. Kontuly's choice of colors, whether bold and vibrant or soft and muted, adds depth and atmosphere to his paintings, making them unforgettable.
The Ancient Roman Empire: My Favorite Place in Time
The ancient Roman Empire, with its monumental architecture, powerful emperors, and intriguing history, has always held a special place in my heart. It's a time of grandeur, complexity, and enduring legacies. To blend Iverson and Kontuly's styles into this historical backdrop is to create a striking juxtaposition.
Marrying the distinct styles of Iverson and Kontuly to portray the Roman Empire is a creative endeavor that comes with its own challenges and opportunities. Iverson's surreal scenarios and Kontuly's vibrant colors may seem like an unlikely pair, but the fusion promises a unique perspective on this iconic era.
The journey from concept to creation was both exciting and intricate. I carefully selected elements from both artists' styles to paint a vivid picture of the Roman Empire. Whether it's the collision of container ships with ancient Roman monuments or the use of vibrant colors to illuminate historical scenes, each stroke on the canvas added depth and nuance.
The fusion of Iverson's surreal scenes and Kontuly's vibrant colours breathes new life into the ancient Roman Empire. The clash between globalisation and environment gains an unexpected but intriguing dimension within this historical context. It's a striking contrast that invites viewers to see the grandeur of the past through a contemporary lens.
In the world of art, boundaries are meant to be pushed. By combining the styles of Mary Iverson and Bela Kontuly, I've unlocked a fresh perspective on the ancient Roman Empire. It's a testament to the power of artistic fusion and the endless possibilities it offers.

Day 58 - to Sjunkhatten National Park
A mild 11C here yesterday early evening, as I stood outside chatting, after most of the day with cloud cover. Good for hiking, not good for northern lights viewing, or for the van solar, but good also for a stray, frail, elderly, starving mosquito..who managed to hobble its way to my neck and take a decent sized chunk. Who would have heard of it - a mosquito in the autumn..
It was brighter and cooler this morning and I headed into the National Park on the other end of the loop trail, about 2 kilometres south. A fisherman had previously warned me about a bull moose that was in the area, and at this time of year, rutting season, they can be aggressive. But we never saw it.

Rago National Park was established in 1971, and is one of Norway’s smallest National Parks, but has a untouched Nordland mountain landscape, and borders Sweden’s Padjelanta National Park to the east, which it is in effect part of. As Rago, it is about a tenth the size of the Lake District, with Padjelanta it is about double the size. In Sweden it is very difficult to get to as a hiker, requiring several days for a trip. But in Norway this loop path takes in the three waterfalls I mentioned yesterday and views across both, achieved relatively easily. For us today, it was a steep climb of 300 metres over a couple of kilometres for a view, but yesterday’s longer outing was superior.

Certainly it’s the dog’s favourite National Park of this course, with swimming better than he would find in any aqua park and a variety of sticks that he would struggle to find even on eBay.

I stocked up at a supermarket in Straumen, just a few kilometres south, and then decided to pay a visit to Sjunkhatten National Park, less spectacular than Rago, more coastal, and a Nature Reserve. I’m parked up at a car park at the end of a rough road into it, with no one else around, though, a few kilometres back there is a busy and large Sports Therapy Centre. It’s a pity I didn’t know ahead of time…

I promised a few words on the rather good Welsh language horror film I watched at the weekend..
It’s called The Feast and features an outstanding performance by Annes Elwy.
There’s an uneasy atmosphere from the start, as a young girl, Elwy playing Cadi, stumbles up to a high end property, looking disheveled, to act as waitress for a dinner party.
The isolated house plays a role also, stark, cold, modern and remote. The family are instantly dislikable, and MP and his hugely annoying wife with their two sons in their late teens.
It’s on Amazon, and as you may guess, I do very much recommend it.

RAGO Germany-based photographer Marina Weishaupt shares beautiful shots of Rago National park, which is part of the biggest nature reserve on the continent of Europe. Its wild landscapes were formed by glaciers back in the Ice Age.
