    Art show in Reykjavik

    I was invited to an art show today -
    Ms . Gudmunda Kristinssdottir , a painter had an opening today .
    Even though the icelandic economy is in a free fall - we still keep on going and enjoying life.
    The theme of her show was - Women - Where do the come from - where are they going .

    The female energy has many metaphores and various colors - and this time the color is - Red.
    I took a few photos and a smal video clip - and on the video clip you can see the artist - ms: Gudmunda Kristinssdottir.
