{"product_id":"9781543461145","title":"Paintings of Iceland: And Resident Trolls","description":"This book is a combination of real and unreal.   I heard many stories from my Mother about the elves , witches,  trolls and hillfolk as I was growing up.  After I grew up I made many visits to Iceland to visit family.  I began painting the amazing landscapes I saw there, but soon began to see why the Icelanders had  many stories of these magical creatures.  I began seeing trolls in the landscapes too.  So, with very little effort  I  helped them come into view in my paintings. I paint  paintings of Maryland landscapes, still lifes,  flora and fauna, and portraits, etc. ,  but  most enjoy   Iceland landscapes , Norse mythology, and what I call my “mindscapes”.    If you are so fortunate to visit Iceland  someday, you may  get to see them too. And I hope the notes to artists might interest some.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145058271472,"sku":"9781543461145","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543461145_p0.jpg?v=1763749135","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543461145","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
