My last post for this year is this flower abstraction. This one remind me to not over think, to be bold and experiment more. Something to work on in 2014.

I wish you all a Happy Creative New Year!

I hope everyone had a great holiday.

This is one of the paintings that is a continuation from an earlier experimentation "Flower Abstraction 59". I don't always go abstract, but I get most satisfaction when I do, at least right now.

This is a larger version of a painting I did earlier this year and I wanted to paint one for my first participation in a Swedish tradition (Easter Art Exhibition). Each Easter artists/painters open up their studios and have exhibitions. Art lovers makes this an event, driving around and visiting local artists.
I know there is early, that there is plenty of time before it is time, but I will focus on getting enough paintings together. That means new paintings, new versions of old paintings and showing a good mix of paintings.

I wish everyone a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for all the support in 2013 and I hope 2014 will be an interesting and creative year.

Flower Abstraction 59

This is one of those exploration/experimentations that start something. I had a blueberry painting that was a larger version of another painting, but I didn't want to keep it since I didn't think it added anything new. I took a transparent blue color and painted a thin layer over the whole canvas and had it as a starting point for this abstract floral painting. I will keep this one for time being, but I have done several paintings on this theme.

As you can see by the number, this small floral painting was painted a week or so ago. I like this a lot, partly because it's not "cute" with perfect colorful flowers. It has a rough edge to it.

I think I will allways get inspired and challenged by this subject. The leaves change color in the autumn and the range of colors include purple, yellow, orange and red. I painted this a while back and it shows the trees with it's berries turned red, but the leaves are still green.

I was able to keep this one from getting too cute, something I can't say about "Floral Abstraction 58". I got a love/hate relationship going on with that one. I like this one though.

Floral Abstraction 56

I have explored a lot of flowers lately. I have realized that I like it when I go simple, close-up, abstract, graphic etc. If I zoom out and do more traditional, it might look good, but I don't like it.
I didn't have any reference photo for this one, not even a clear idea, just followed my instinct and I like how it turned out.

Cupcake 20

I painted this cupcake a while back. I painted two types of cupcakes at the time and I did at least two versions of each. Haven't posted before because I decided to keep this one myself.

Flower Abstraction 55

SOLD

This is my 3rd and final attempt on this composition. I have no idea why, but I got caught up with the coneflower's petals, going too realistic and clashing with the simplicity of the other flowers. I finally found my way again and this painting took me into a new direction. I have done a few floral paintings where I am less concern with what kind of flowers I am painting and more about the shapes and colors that they have.

This is a smaller bird's nest painting that I painted a while ago. I like the simplicity and lightness of it.
