I think you might be right, or at least right in the fact that I has been a sailor in a former life. Ever since I was a kid I knew I had been a sailor, who drunked. I have been afraid of Water ever since, and even today after all these years I cannot get my head under water. I just have to respect that, but I think I will paint more ships in the time coming, så thanks for the push. I think I will opload my viking-ship in this weekend. :)

I guess that you were a Viking in a former life. As to suddenly liking painting boats, perhaps they are symbolic of your sailing across and exploring the seas of eternity... :-)
Susanne Baumann
That is very filosophic, and it is true that things often happens in strange ways. It is indeed a fantastic world we live in. What will happen to my finished painting of "Havhingsten", I dont know. I think it must be in an exhibition this year in december with my other 2 boats. I found myself suddenly liking to paint boats - very strange. I think I was a sailsman in a former life :)

I have no doubt that your finished 'Havhingsten' Viking Ship will be beautifully ferocious looking. As to the "Glendalough Coincidence' , some say that there are no coincidences. What those 'coincidences' are no one knows. Perhaps they are messages, or hints, for us to realise that everything is connected in some mysterious ways ?
Susanne Baumann
What a coincidence - fantastic :) I choose this ship because I saw a film about it, and because it is the only real viking-ship I know of. Weird that you live in Glendalough. My painting is not a true copy of the ship. I can see from what I painted yesterday that the sail is a wrong dimension, but I hope it will end up to be a nice viking-ship after all :)

Wow - isn't that The Weirdest thing..., after all my joking around, you come up with the Viking Ship "Havhingsten fra Glendalough" - which is a Danish reconstruction of Skuldelev 2, one of the Skuldelev ships. The original ship was built around 1042 near Dublin with oak from Glendalough, Wicklow, Ireland, hence the ship's name. The Weird Thing is that I live in - Glendalough, which is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia !
Susanne Baumann
Thanks a lot Variance :) , and Hartmut I have actually found my model. I will be the vikingship "Havhingsten", and its lying ready fo me on a blank canvas - just has to get the right mood ;)
Hartmut Jager
Variance I can only totally agree, but wait there is more, much more to come, ...once Susanne gets stuck in to create a Viking Ship master-painting. :-) :-) :-)
Hartmut Jager
Excellent ! Trees are a very important, if not essential ingredient in building Viking ships. Please keep me informed - if and when you are using the wood from your tree pictures, to paint a splendid Viking Ship ... :-) :-) :-)
Susanne Baumann
Thank you so much David. You are very kind and I am very glad that you like it :) And Hartmut I am so busy right now paintings trees, so I must keep the vikings in mind to a more peacefull time. It could very well be that I ( a viking ;) ) would take up the challenge.
Hartmut Jager
Susanne, I , and all Vikings who are residing in Walhalla , are very, very patient, but nevertheless insist that you honor their memory - with your expertise in painting a dragon headed Viking Ship. :-)

When I saw this as a thumbnail, I thought it was a photo and wondered first if anyone was aboard, then realized it was perfectly balanced on a sandbar. Only after clicking on it and examining very closely did I realize you painted it! Excellent job capturing water in motion and the wonderful swoop of that hull.
Susanne Baumann
Thank you Mim. :o) I hope you can wait long time Hartmut. Its not just around the corner ;)
Hartmut Jager
Indeed it would be a challenge, but you can easily do it. I am looking forward to seeing the amazing result. :-) :-) :-)
Susanne Baumann
hehe - excactly Hartmut, that is why I only made a sail-boat -:o)) Thanks both for the kind Words - I appreciate it.
