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.Roger Åkessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198884418075720705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940063045936728398.post-75219232363457226412020-02-18T11:49:00.000-08:002020-02-18T11:52:40.784-08:00Flower abstraction 246<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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.Roger Åkessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198884418075720705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940063045936728398.post-89422469641307750032020-02-13T12:02:00.002-08:002020-02-13T12:06:57.173-08:00Pear abstraction 4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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.<br />
<br />
It is easy that the focus is on producing instead of creating, but I do get some things done that I like.Roger Åkessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198884418075720705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940063045936728398.post-30908662219027627162020-01-31T10:36:00.005-08:002020-01-31T10:41:32.278-08:00Flower abstraction 244<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one started with an almost "night sky" effect with a lot of stars.

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. <br />

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.<br />

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.</div>

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.<br />
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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
I guess that I have to start that process again, in our new house..... and hopefully sooner than later.<br />
<br />
I wish you all a Happy & Creative New Year.Roger Åkessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198884418075720705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940063045936728398.post-58889110341591574112018-12-10T09:29:00.000-08:002018-12-20T00:55:32.945-08:00Flower Exploration 43I can't say that I am totally into painting again, but I am satisfied with the things I have done. Large new versions, variations of earlier concepts/paintings. It is so easy that they lack the spontaneity and doesn't live up to the previous ones, but I am glad that they did.<br />
This is a large painting with abstract flowers in a vase. It has a limited color pallette.<br />

I was just getting back to painting again, when my life took a 180 degree turn and painting were no longer on the table.<br />
<br />
We are soon moving, sold the our current house and bought a new one, starting from scratch again, but that is a good thing. This time we are going to plan our garden from the perspective of having 2 active Whippet dogs.<br />
<br />
I have started painting again, mixed results, but I am going in the right direction.<br />
<br />
This is one of my largest paintings that I have done and is a continuation of my flower abstraction concept.<br />

I decided to take a break from painting, things around me was more important and I wanted to focus on that. When things around me calmed down and I was able to focus more on myself, additions to our family took priority. Within two months we bought two "Whippet" puppies, Zune (now almost 7 months old, fawn and white) and Brage (7 weeks younger, brindle) a lot of joy and a lot of work.<br />
I am back painting again and will hopefully continue with it. I still got paintings left to post from before my break, so I will mix old and new paintings in future posts.<br />
<br />
I start with a painting that I did last year and two pictures of our dogs.....<br />

This is a more complex flower exploration painting. How detailed/complex a painting become depend when I think it is done. The risk with that method is to go too far, to over work it. I think that it worked out well this time.Roger Åkessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198884418075720705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940063045936728398.post-19172610256532811202018-01-02T12:40:00.000-08:002018-01-02T12:44:14.260-08:00Flower Abstraction 234<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been exploring and painting landscapes/trees a lot, more or less abstract. I have worked without reference, going with my instinct. I will use photos for references and ideas, but for now I have focused on the shapes of the trees, trying out things.</div>

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.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every brush stroke is visible and final, no corrections. I added some more colors in this one.</div>

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.<br />

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.

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.</div>

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

I am so behind showing what I have done, but too busy painting, a blessing in disguise. This painting is the result of being inspired by what I do. I saw a detail in a painting, and wonder how it would look as a separate painting.</div>

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.Roger Åkessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15198884418075720705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940063045936728398.post-92080449670018459202017-11-17T10:13:00.003-08:002017-11-17T10:13:19.680-08:00Forest Exploration 21<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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.</div>
