Forest Exploration 17
tisdag 29 april 2014
My first Easter Exhibition.
Like I mentioned earlier. Here in the south of Sweden, there is a tradition for artists to open up their studios to the public or rent a place to have an exhibition. I don't have a studio right now for that purpose, so I rented a place.
Considering that it was my first, I think the show was a great success. Sold more than I hoped, and got a lot of positive feedback. To hear that I got a personal and unique style, and that they like/love it, really gave me a lot of energy, have already started painting again.
Here is some pictures I took of the exhibition before it opened. Not the best quality since I didn't used a flash, but I hope it is good enough.

I took the opportunity and printed 5 favorites as Giclée prints,
will come to that in a later post.

Flower Abstraction 93
After painting a lot of small graphic flowers, I went big and bold. This one was a fun experience and process.

One more small flower abstraction painting that was sold on my exhibition, one of my favorite ones. Very small value changes, but works for me anyway.

I will tell more about my exhibition later. It is a new experience for me and it is really vitalizing to hear peoples reactions to my art.

Flower Abstraction 80
SOLD
This is a duo flower composition from my series of flower abstractions.
Have no much time to paint right now, today is the first day of this years Easter Art event here in Sweden, my first, and I am very exited to get this day started. Some artist open their studios, where the display there art, others like me rent a place to show their art. You can see how it is organized here. I am part of a guild of artists that live in the southwest of Skane (the area where I live).

Landscape Exploration 3
Very busy right now, but thought I take a few minutes posting this one. The same approach as the red/blue limited palette paintings, but at the same time very different.

Shapes & Movement 20
This is another of my more non-figurative abstract paintings. I could say what associations I get now, but that would spoil it for the viewers.
Today I get access and can start hanging my paintings, that will be fun and frustrating I guess.

Flower Abstraction 86
SOLD
A lot of things going on right now, some of it has been shared here. This is one of several small flower abstraction paintings I have done lately.
Display small paintings
I will not know for sure until I hang my paintings, but I assume I will hang a few of the small ones. I have also constructed this simple wood holder to show small paintings on a table. To avoid damage to the frames, I have put those rubber sheets you use under carpets on the bottom.

Framed and ready....
I got most of my paintings that has been framed for my exhibition today. The frame I chose give the small paintings depth and body. The paintings in the photo are 6" x 6" and some of them haven't been posted yet.
The frame is for panels and photographs. The profile is deep, doesn't cover any part of the painting (like a floater), but you don't need to build it up. The depth on the inside where the painting lies is only 1 cm (0,4").

Flower Abstraction 91
SOLD
This is one of a series of small flower paintings I have done lately. I want a all my painting to have impact. When I paint small I try to keep the design and composition simple and graphic, not trying to squeeze too much into it.

Shapes & Movement 14
This the largest abstraction painting I have done so far and I used a panel with rejected tree painting on it. I painted the whole panel with a red/pink transparent color, letting the old painting shining through, something I have done from time to time. That way I can use the patterns that is created in the new painting.

Tree Abstraction 50
This is the 2nd of three paintings with trees in this limited palette. I will do more paintings like this, but not with these colors.

Flower abstraction 81
It is always nice to surprise oneself. I prefer to paint 12" x 12" or larger, but I had some 6" x 6" and 8" x 8" panels laying around and I thought I better use them to something. I have played around with flower abstractions lately and took the opportunity to use the concept on these panels. I like these a lot. They are clean, graphic and fun.

Flower Abstraction 74
I've got more abstract paintings to show, but I thought I'd mix things up. This painting started what I am doing now. Sure, there have been flower shapes or suggestions of flowers in the more "non-figurative abstract" paintings I've posted so far. This however, is definitively a flower made in an abstract way.
