Artwork in honour of the Icelandic sheepdog

I commissioned the young artist Josefina Morell, who lives in Borgarfjörður, to create an outdoor artwork for me in honor of the Icelandic Sheepdog. After some deliberation, we decided that she would create a sculpture or a kind of profile picture from rhyolite stone. An appropriate stone was finally found in Bæjargil in Húsafell. The stone is purple-blue and very beautiful. A picture of Sómi was then used as a model, and the result is magnificent. Josefina came and delivered the work to me a couple of days ago. The stone was initially placed on the wall of the turf shed, but the location will be reviewed when appropriate.

I am extremely pleased with the work, and who knows, this might be the only sculpture of an Icelandic Sheepdog in Iceland? In any case, I think it's time we had a monument to the national dog!
