Flower Exploration 44

This is a painting that I started/painted a while ago, before I started putting flowers into vases. It was my first experimentation with putting multi flowers together. The idea behind this one is a "Pile of flowers". I liked the result, but never finished it, didn't know where to take it. It sat there a long time, until I finally took the effort to do so.

This was a little experiment with multiple flowers, containing my signature graphic flower that was inspired by an Iris flower. I might explore some more with this. It is a small painting and was a real challenge.

Hard to find time to paint, which lead to overthinking and rushing to use the time I got, not a good thing when you have an expressive style.

It is easy that the focus is on producing instead of creating, but I do get some things done that I like.

This one started with an almost "night sky" effect with a lot of stars. I like when I can use the contrast of flat bold brush strokes with textures.

Still painting, not as much as I would like too, but it is enough for now. I apologize for the lack of posting, I post more regular on Instagram.

This is a painting that I would usually do on a bigger scale, but I liked the challenge and I think it turned out great.

Still painting, mixed results. The thing that I lost not painting for so long is the balance between control and let go. This is a simply flower, but has a lot of details. That works for this one, but more complex compositions, I need to find the detail balance, easy to get too busy.

When life happens, somethings have to change, which meant for me that I had to focus on other things than paint. I haven't painted for 2 years. I have tried to get it going a few times, but it wasn't in the cards.
I hope I can get going now, a slow start, but I have to work on balance between control and expression. This is a small starter, back to basics.

Well... not painting again..... am in the process of moving to a new house, packing and getting ready takes priority. This is one small paintings that I did as a way to "get back to painting" a while ago.

I guess that I have to start that process again, in our new house..... and hopefully sooner than later.

I wish you all a Happy & Creative New Year.

This is the result of my letting loose, pushing my limits, doing something else to mix things up....

This might be the last post this year, or I might squeeze one more in before New Year. This is the third painting of 3 that I did with white background, keeping it clean, direct and no margin for errors.

Every brush stroke is visible and final, no corrections. I added some more colors in this one.

This is one of my favorite paintings in my "Flower Exploration" series. It is simple, but full of details. I especially like the "wallpaper" background, it really worked well.

Flower Exploration 37

I am experience life at the moment, good and bad. Still painting, but I never seem to get to posting them. This is a small painting in my flower exploration series.

I have moved on from flowers in vases, at least for the moment. While I did them, I mixed things up  with other subjects and concepts. This is more of an abstract, inspired by the more traditional flower paintings. It is good to push things.

Landscape Exploration 28

The majority of my paintings are still flower explorations, but I do mix things up with exploring trees and landscapes too. I haven't reached the point yet, but planning to do a large landscape painting, the largest so far.

This is a small landscape I did a wile ago. I am trying to find the balance between loose and structure.

Flower Exploration 29

This is one of the small flower paintings. What I like about it is the simple composition and the color combination.

Flower Exploration 34

I know I should be posting more often, but life takes all the time right now, and painting.

This is one of my small size flower exploration paintings. I have a lot of fun with these. They are small but large enough for me to spread my wings, if you know what I mean.

Forest Exploration 22

This is a small landscape/forest painting, part of my attempt to find new paths to explore.

Flower Exploration 24

This is another painting in the "Flower Exploration" series. I still do landscape/tree paintings, but I will continue with these too, still think that I can take them further, have more to give.

Forest Exploration 21

This is the painting right now that inspire most when it comes to trees and landscapes. The problem for me is to not overthink it, not trying to replicate something that was pure instinct and confidence over my own ability.

Flower Exploration 25

This is one of my favorite flower paintings and I think it's partly because it came from a place where I tried new colors & went for it.
