I only got one fabric that has inspired me to use in a painting and I have done several paintings with these orange and white kitchen towels. I have plans to go and buy some more fabrics to use in paintings, but so far I haven't got around to do it.

This painting suit my "Super Size Fruit" series and the last DPW challenge for this year, "The Paint Some Fabric Challenge".

I wish everyone A Happy Creative New Year.

SOLD

I forgot to post this one. I painted it around the same time I did "Cupcake 8" and it has a similar playful close-up composition.

Well, this one is a tricky one. I have done zoom in compositions of tomatoes before, but it is a while ago and I was curious how it would look now. My style has changed over time. The tricky part is that most people use tomatoes as vegetables (including me), but they are really fruits, so this do fit the series.

I tried to keep it as simple and clean as possible.

Rowen Berries 1 (progress)

I just realized that I did take two progress pictures of my first Rowen berries painting. Thought I share them with you.

 Merry X-mas to you all.

This is actually a composition I started on a few months ago. I started with one that had a very lovely sketchy feeling too it and then I got stuck, not knowing where to go, I decided to start another one and let the first rest with the possibility of just being an unfinished sketch. Well, to make a long story short, I didn't know what I wanted and I wasn't totally pleased with the things went, so I trashed them both.

I have finally tried to get it done and I went with the same size as earlier. The composition also suited my new series of painting and I think it was worth the wait.

There will be more Rowen berries later, but first another "Super Size Fruits" painting. I have painted a lot this past week and I have had a lot of fun, more than usual in fact. I think the break was a good thing. Things had time to sink in and I recharged my creative battery.

I want to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year.

I have done paintings with unknown red berries before, but this autumn I took a lot of photographs of Rowen trees. The colors was amazing. I have finally got them on canvas (or should I say panel).

I revisited raspberries with this one. I think I found a good balance between detail and keeping it simple. I didn't go as rough and loose as the first one, but I didn't get lost with the details either. I tried to keep it clean, simple and graphic. I had a lot of fun with it.

One can say that I have begun a new series of paintings called "Super size fruit". It's not that I haven't done large than life fruits before, but since I am really into it right now, I might as well give them a new name.
Before it was a series, only one painting done, I did this one, a single bell pepper with character.

I am back!

It has been a couple of crazy months, both good and bad things happened. I started to renovate my apartment to take my mind of the bad things. First the hallway and now I am a week from having a new bathroom.

My last post was on the 20th of November and I haven't done any painting for a month (walls don't count). I finally got started yesterday again, and the focus right now is to get painting into my system again.

If I don't keep on painting I loose motivation. My biggest motivation is progress and to explore.
It was really hard to get going again. I will try to do things that I like, even redo old paintings that I think I could do better or different know.

I went very rough with this one. I am not in the mood to work small or doing a lot of details. I like flaws, they give a painting character.
