Nice links, but the foremost Troll painter of them all ( smiley - winkeye at least with Norwegian eyes ) is Theodore Kittelsen. http://www.cs.uit.nsmiley - musicalnoteespensk/kittelsen/index-2.0.html

On this page: http://users.skynet.be/fa023784/troll_art.html
you will find a collection of scandinavian troll painters, including Kittelsen and Bauer and also Werenskiold who created illustrations for Asbjørnsen and Moe's collection of Norwegian fairy tales. (And also illustrated the Norwegian Royal Sagas)
