Tree Abstraction 51


This is a continuation of a painting with limited color palette that I did earlier. That one is a favorite of my loved one, and I did this one as tribute. This is also a big one.

Landscape exploration 2

SOLD

I liked the initial sketch a lot and I think I will do some black and white (or blue and white) paintings later, but this is the path I took this time. A small photo doesn't do this one justice, I really like the vibe I get from this one in person. It is a great challenge going this big, but a fun challenge.

Landscape exploration 2 - The start

This is the first brush strokes of my latest and largest painting.I didn't have any reference picture for this painting and my initiate thought was to go in a totally different direction than where it ended up. I went with the flow and sketched this composition/layout with bold blue brush strokes. I also kept these blue brush stokes through the final painting to keep it less realistic, more abstract, even though some will get the association to water.

In the forest 9 - The Big One"


It is a while since I went really big, and on canvas, so I thought I would take the opportunity to make something for myself. I have never done a "gallery wrap" painting, so I bought frame and canvas for a 100 x 100 cm (39.4" x 39.4") painting.
I did a real big painting a few years ago, in my old style, but this is the biggest I have done with my new looser style. I had to adjust my approach to the size. I had the tendency make too much small details everywhere, had to balance it with big broad brush strokes. It was fun, I learned a lot, and I like it.
