SciFi and Fantasy Art It was autumn... by Johan Aronson

'It was autumn, and in the mountain the wailing of the wolf was heard echoing between the grey cliffs where many norsemen had struggled for their lives, and by the horizon lay the sun with the shadow. I stood on the mountain-ridge and looked down towards the bewitching mist, it came sweeping upwards and brought with it so gloomy winds. It was then, when twilight changed into darkness, that I saw the ancient mountain-troll sitting on his mountain-throne and sharpening his yellow nails. The troll who takes the weak lives.'
Freely translated from 'Trollmånens väg' by Otyg.

17 Aug 2005	Krypto	Loading... I want this on my wall... But it could be smart to get me-self a job first o'course.(18y) Do you ever sell your pictures? I would guess that you could earn lots on this Mr. Aronson :] Johan Aronson replies: "I'm glad you liked it! Have sold one or two pieces to people I know, but nothing more. "
9 Sep 2005	Joanna ´Vi´ Wasilewska	Loading... I also want to have in on my wall:] Really. You're a master of atmosphere, I love this kind of paintings. Nothing really moves, nothing happens but I feel my heart is beating faster Again - light That orange lines are great. Johan Aronson replies: "Thanks! You don't know how happy I am to hear those compliments from one of my greatest idols and sources of inspiration here on Elfwood! "
31 Oct 2006	Chris <teine_sionnic@hot...com&	Loading... I love how all of this wonderful landscape was produced with just slate-blue, raw sienna, and bits of black. Your art teachers would be proud!
26 Oct 2008	Sam Adams	Loading... WOW!!!! So beautiful! I wish i could paint like this, it’s so magical, you caught the moment beautifully! Johan Aronson replies: "Thankyou! I’m very happy if you find my pictures inspiring. You should perhaps get hold of a set of acrylics and try colouring some paper with them. It’s real fun to paint with (have used them way too little lately) though sometimes frustrating, but it gives the pictures a special look and feel that I love."
