The Inspiration Behind this Painting
The outdoor community coined the phrase “Type 2 Fun” to describe that special kind of fun where challenge and discomfort (blisters, whipping wind, and steep inclines) make for the most fulfilling adventures in the long run. Unlike the pure, easy bliss of Type 1 fun (say, a day lounging at the beach), Type 2 thrill seekers feel a deep sense of invigoration and accomplishment in overcoming the elements and whatever harsh terrain nature throws their way.

I recently completed a 10-day campervan trip around Iceland. We hiked almost every day from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., crossing rivers, scaling the edges of cliffs, feeling the frigid wind cut through our layers, and ending each night with the beautiful ache of sore muscles and blistered feet. Our mantra the whole trip was: This is Type 2 Fun.

The Inspiration Behind this Painting
We had a 3 a.m. wake-up time to drive the van two hours and catch the first morning sunlight illuminating this view. If that doesn’t say commitment to Type 2 Fun, I don’t know what does. What struck me most about this view was the impossible question people often ask: Are you a mountain person or a beach person? In this vignette of volcanic black sand and towering mountains stretching out into the ocean, I had the overwhelming clarity that you don’t have to choose. Mama Earth placed both in precious corners of the world for us to experience. What a gift.

The Inspiration Behind this Painting
By now, you know my art is born from the moments when I feel small and humbled by the scale of the planet. My brain unleashes a special rush of dopamine when I am just an ant staring out into a glacial lake that could swallow me whole, and the ripples from my impact wouldn’t even reach the shoreline, like a grain of sand dropped into a puddle. When we hiked up to this volcanic crater filled with glacial melt, it was clear that natural forces far more powerful than any human had arrived there long before me. When I painted Oversized Puddle, I wanted to capture that scale, the geological history, and our human presence as two Little Dudes high-fiving in Type 2 Fun bliss. Mountains covered in lichen framed the background, with purple crater walls and brick-red sand hugging the turquoise glacial lake. It was a rainbow of color, like so many rainbows we saw against the post-rain backdrop of Iceland’s dramatic landscapes.
