Autumn Berry Abstraction 7

 

SOLD

I did this one at the same time I did number 8 in the same series. It is basically the same composition, but with a different approach, that is more similar with the larger ones, with the base of blue line work. It is a personal preference which one is better, I got this one as the favorite, I know others that has the other one.

This one has a little special history. I was painting a larger painting that I pushed outside my comfort zone. There were times when I loved it and times that I didn't. One of the worst moments I know, is when I think a painting got potentials, but need some corrections, but I am not able to get on with it. It can be that I am not sure what direction I want to take it or don't have the energy/drive to do it.

I did some corrections, but not in the right direction and I lost drive to continue. I still wonder if I did the right choice, but I scrapped it. I did take a part of it, a part I really liked and thought would work as a painting in itself. It is a little unconventional painting perhaps, but I like it. I have taken the concept and played a little with it on some small paintings too.

SOLD

After doing several large paintings in this series I tried to translate the concept to a smaller format. Going small, limits my movement, but there is times when I get it to work, like this one. I like the organized chaos and the rhythm/flow of the composition.

This is  a medium size abstraction that I painted after the 2 large ones (posted earlier). I wanted to give it the same feeling, but on a smaller scale. I think it turned out great.

This is another of my recent small paintings. The challenge with these small paintings are for me to keep them simple enough, but complex enough. They must have a clear design and to have an impact of some sort. I must feel that they are interesting enough, not being just an afterthought.

SOLD

I have been starting to focus my painting and focus to my upcoming "Easter Exhibition". 

Going through what I got, I realized that I painted less last year and bigger than usual. It is not surprising that I painted less since I moved to a house and spent a lot of time reconstructing and planning the garden, something I look forward to continue soon.

I got enough to show, but I want to show more small paintings and am working on that right now.

This painting is a continuation of the "autumn berry abstraction" series and is a small, but playful and colorful addition to the series.

This is a larger version of a smaller favorite of mine. It's not a copy of the original, but a more complex version  with similar colors. This one, the large one, will probably be part of my "Easter exhibition. I will keep the small one for now, as a future reference and inspiration.

This is a small painting that has been around for a while. Haven't posted it earlier because I did a few similar versions of it and I didn't want to post them all together.

This one  took a different direction than intended, but that is the fun thing with creating this way. I am going where the inspiration takes me, trusting my instincts.

Autumn Berry Abstraction 2 - On the wall

It is a very dark season up here in Sweden right now, taking pictures are not easy. I hope these pictures are good enough to do the painting justice and give an idea about the size.

This one was mostly painted while I was down with a cold. Even if I didn't feel well, the process gave me energy and kept me motivated and I like the result a lot.

Here is a few reference photos, trying to show the paintings real size.

Autumn Berry Abstraction 1

This is my last painting for 2015 and it was a great challenge. Going bigger than usual. I tried to keep the balance between detail, contrast, simplicity and color. I wanted to keep the roughness, not cleaning up too much, not going too realistic. Well, it is hard to explain, I hope the piece speaks for itself.
