Cracking the Surface

Inspired by the landscape in Iceland, there was a place in Hverir where the ground had cracks and mudpools that were hot and bubbling. They also had a very strong odor! I did a few paintings of this area, and this is one of them. I used crackle paste to make the texture appear as it does.
