end notes
I decided to use this genre to let the work of Norwegian artists speak for itself. Norway is home to some of the best landscape painters I've seen. Also, I have a serious artistic respect for Edvard Munch and his work. The amount of emotion in his colors and the motion in his lines is incredible. Not many painters can achieve such an identifiable and unique style like that. Once again, Norway is very proud of its country, and painters are eager to capture its beauty. I don't think anyone could argue that Norway isn't beautiful, in many different respects, and serves as a fantastic muse for its artists.
