Pear abstraction 4

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.

Flower Exploration 19

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.

Flower Exploration 32

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes it is a good thing to change things up when one is starting to get stuck, getting to repeat patterns. When it happens, I might go small, play with a single apple and try to put my spin on it.

Flower Exploration 11

This is one of the largest paintings that I have done in this series. It has a more open color scheme, but I think it has a very distinct look, I like it a lot.

Flower Exploration 18

And now ..... something totally different, but still me.

After posting some of the initial line work that I usually use in the beginning of a painting, and some of the reaction I got from it, I thought it might be something I could work with.

This painting is based on that idea, with some additional details. I will probably explore this more in the future.

I have really played around with this theme, color variations, approaches and expression. I am not sure why.... but I usually go with a theme until I got nothing more to add. I might do more at a later point, but it all depend if I feel the inspiration for that subject again.

Flower Exploration 6

I considered to post a painting that I did a while back, for change of pace, but I think I stick with what I am doing right now. Can post the older paintings if I take a break or something.

This is a color variation on the flower exploration theme. I keep finding "what if" ideas, which is a good thing, driving me forward outside my comfort zone.

The weird thing for me is that I can never plan or combine large or small paintings, often it all depend on what is working at the moment. I guess it has to do with (unlike 7-8 years ago) that I paint with instinct, expression, not planning too much. 

At the moment large works best, with small interruptions where I get some inspiration from details that I can take to a smaller canvas. Apples was one thing that worked very well on a few of my "Flower Exploration" paintings, and this one is the result of it.

Flower Exploration 7

This is a small flower painting that is the result of just going for it... testing new things without thinking of it......

Playful Fruit Abstraction 1

When I played around with my flower exploration series, I started to do parts of flowers, petals and fruit on the table. The result was a very fresh and playful approach to it. It also show that overthinking can be a bad thing and I should trust my instinct.

Flower Exploration 2

This is the 2nd painting I did in this series. I like the contrasts and the arrangement in this one. I'm not sure how many I will make, but I will push them to a more abstract direction too.

Flower Exploration 3

This is the 3rd painting in this new series of paintings. I have done 11 so far. It is fun to explore something new and to have an idea what I want with it.

Flower Exploration 1

I have thought of exploring flowers in a vase for a long time, finally I got the courage to go with it. This is the first one, had a little problem with the vase in itself, but I got it to work in the end.

I realized during the process that I am not interested in the vase in itself and want to find a concept of a vase that I like, and stick with it.
