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.

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.

This painting came from a very direct approach and I didn't overthink things. There is a fine balance between rough and polished and I am happiest when I find it. This one landed on the rougher side, but I had control enough to make it work.

Still not painting, well tried a few times, but overthinking is never a good thing. I am continuing making frames instead. My thought is that the color of the frames will suit the painting. Paintings that are chosen and framed will not be available for sale, unless you contact me. This is one of my abstract paintings that I painted earlier.

I am sure that even art-lovers has better things to do right now, but I think I should keep on posting. This is a black and white abstract painting, a little larger than my previous ones. It has a winter, snow storm feeling. Appropriate for the season.

Autumn Berry Abstraction 17
Working small is going great right now and I am trying to take advantage of it. This is a painting that are slightly larger and was done just before I went down in size. I love the limited color pallette.

Flower Abstraction 168
SOLD
I usually do these more complex multi flower abstractions on larger canvases, but I wanted to push my limits and do it on a smaller scale (12" x 12"). I am pleased with the result.

Autumn Berry Abstraction 16
I hope I will get lots of interesting reference photos from our garden this year. There is a lot of berries growing. I call this series autumn berries because most berries get ripe late summer, early autumn and is more of a guideline.
This is a new painting in the series and the inspiration came from a painting that I sold during my Easter Exhibition. This one is a lot smaller though.

Abstracture 10
This painting was part of a larger painting that I had mixed feelings about. I am still not sure if I did the right thing cutting it down, but at least I got two small paintings that I like. I posted the other one earlier.

Autumn Berry Abstraction 6
SOLD
This one has a little special history. I was painting a larger painting that I pushed outside my comfort zone. There were times when I loved it and times that I didn't. One of the worst moments I know, is when I think a painting got potentials, but need some corrections, but I am not able to get on with it. It can be that I am not sure what direction I want to take it or don't have the energy/drive to do it.
I did some corrections, but not in the right direction and I lost drive to continue. I still wonder if I did the right choice, but I scrapped it. I did take a part of it, a part I really liked and thought would work as a painting in itself. It is a little unconventional painting perhaps, but I like it. I have taken the concept and played a little with it on some small paintings too.

What to do when you love part of a painting, but not able to connect it all together? Well this one was a small part of a larger painting that didn't go in any direction that I liked. I removed the canvas from the frame and stretched this part on a smaller frame. I had to adjust a few things to make it work, but I think it was worth the extra effort.

Flower Abstraction 123
This is a painting that I did in May. Painting whites and soft colors with my distinctive line work isn't easy or something that comes naturally. The natural thing is to go bold, use maximum color. I still can't judge this one. I like it, but is it something that I want to proceed with? Time will tell.

Flower Abstraction 118
I did this one a while back as a contrast to a rough painting with a lot of details. I wanted to go simple, clean and graphic.

Flower Abstraction 119
Have done several small flower abstraction, but thought I mix things up with this slightly larger one. This one had it's ups and downs. It started great, took it too far in a direction that I wasn't sure about, and finally I pulled it all together, and went for it. A little rougher than usual, but I like the result.

Here is one of my earlier non-figurative abstract paintings. As usual I have no logic to when to post which painting.
Still on a break, have a lot of things on my plate, but I think it is a good break that will charge my batteries and get some new ideas.

I did three variations of this abstract composition, trying out some different approaches. The largest one was posted earlier. This one is similar to that one, but smaller. The paint layers & brush strokes are clean and graphic.

Flower Abstraction 90
Not for Sale
While playing around with these small flower abstractions, my design ended up with iris elements. Since Iris is one of my favorite flowers, I didn't mind.
This one is based on repetition and has a pattern quality.

Shapes & Movement 1
Have spent some more time exploring non-figurative abstract art and what I have learned so far is to stay true to my style of painting and not be afraid of failing.
