Not much painting going on right now. The free time I got I spend in our garden. Hard work but I actually loving it. I was afraid when we bought the house that I wouldn't.
I try not to post to often, to save paintings for later. I could show on of those, but I think I post the one I did recently. It is the same concept that I have worked on for my flower abstraction, but I pushed and played with the colors. I like the result and might do a larger version of it.

Update

I've /we have been working hard in the garden, a lot done, a lot left to do, but I like the progress. I took some photos of my latest paintings hanging in my kitchen, as size reference.
I also include a few pictures of the progress in our garden. Big empty rectangle space is prepared for a green house that should arrive within 2 weeks. Some spaces lack grass, but that will be corrected soon.

I planned to paint a lot, but instead we have done a lot off planning and reshaping our garden. This is our first summer living here and I confess, it is hard work but also a lot of fun.

I did manage to get this one done. I got a request to do a large single nest painting and this is what I came up with. It was a real challenge.

Have been busy with planning and working in our garden lately. Have been able to paint and finish a large bird's nest painting, but more about that later.

This is a my largest flower abstraction to date. I wanted to go bold, making a more complex composition with more flowers, not just the same amount, but larger.
So this one is over the top, colorful and fun.

I have recently finished my largest Flower abstraction paintings ever, 100 x 100 cm ( 39,4 x 39,4 inches). It is very complexed and over the top, but I like it. But I think it have to wait a little, have other things to show first.

This is a painting that took me outside my comfort zone and I had a lot of fun. At first I wasn't sure what to think, I always see the things that I could have done different, or better. Now a few weeks later, I rather like it.

This is one of my semi large flower abstractions. Not sure if it is the time of the year, or the fact that we got a lot of plans and work around our own garden, but very few subjects interest me to paint for the moment.

We bought and moved to our first house in December last year and this is the first summer for us with a garden. We har removed a 34 meter (37 yards) European Beech tree hedge and replaced it ourself with a wood fence. We removed 74 plants/trees and the roots was no picnic.
Hopefully we get our new greenhouse tomorrow, which will take time and energy to put together, but I am looking forward to it.

This is a little blue abstract flower, based on color, shape and simplicity, that's all!

I did this one before my garden project and the subject is one of my favorites, love the shapes and colors, even if it is early yet.

I was very inspired by an earlier large flower abstraction painting, "Flower Abstraction 32". 

I love the painting in it's whole, one of my personal favorites, The thing that inspired this one is how the dark flowers on the bottom, just peak through the dark background and how the yellow parts of the flowers glow in the dark. I took that and decided to do a large version, a dark moody painting, with a limited color palette and  that was all about repetition. I did light up a part too make it pop.

This one is all about the size and impact.
