I really like this one too, because it is larger and a little "over the top".

Landscape Exploration 20
This painting was a few minutes from being scrapped and re-used for a new painting. I started painting it around 6 months ago, and had a rough time, one minute I loved where it was going, hating it 5 minutes later. I had no idea where I was going. It was not realism ( like I would ever), but it wasn't abstract either.
I just put it aside and thought it would be one of those that wouldn't get finished. It had potential, but it also had it's problems, but I had no vision.
I told my biggest fan and critic what he thought, and he said that he loved it and forbid me to reject it. I took his advice and decided to give it a go, to solve the things I didn't like.
Am not objective right now, but I solved it, and I am pleased with the end result.
I had no idea what picture I had used as reference and had to just to make it work.

Flower Abstraction 121
I have a lot of fun experimenting with these flower concepts, trying different approaches. After doing restrained and simplified I went bold and wild with this one.

Flower Abstraction 124
SOLD
I have played around lately with textures, an element to ad to my paintings. I like the smooth clean brush strokes, but sometimes I want to ad something else into the mix.
I also include a picture of my last post to show it's size.The light could have been better, but what can one do about the weather.

Bird's Nest Abstraction 41
It is that time of the year that flowers are a logical subject, even though mine are more of a concept than actually real flowers. I thought I would mix things up with my latest painting, something totally different, a bird's nest. After a few attempts that wasn't bold enough, I painted this one, a much better attempt.

Flower Abstraction 120
I have gradually gone larger and the thought behind this is work on contrast, values and color. I made the flowers colorful, but in a dark way, and contrasting them to a vibrant background.

This is a small graphic and simplified flower, I played with the colors a little, I like it.

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.

Flower Abstraction 113
SOLD
I have things that I plan to do, subjects etc. to explore, but got caught up playing around with these small flower abstractions. Painting small doesn't always fit my style of painting, but right now it does.
I also realized that photographing these small paintings can be problematic, that too much details in the canvas etc. is showing.The reason is that the photo is larger than the actual painting. Posting smaller pictures of these small paintings from now on.

Flower Abstraction 111
SOLD
Time is still something that I don't have enough of and I would have liked to have had more painting done, but at least I am painting again.
As a warm-up, I have done something that suits small sizes and has a strong design element, my simplified flowers.

Landscape Exploration 19
There
might be a late addition to my Easter Exhibition. Just finished this
one, and I am pleased with the result. It is soft and moody, but I like
it.
Not a great photo of it (has some reflections/glare in some dark areas, but it is good enough for now

Tree Abstraction 62
I painted this one to be a companion piece for "Tree Abstraction 61" and be part of my Easter exhibition. It was strange to paint this big and keep the simplicity, not going overboard with details. I had to take my time and make every brush stroke count.

This is a large painting that is the result after rejecting and painting over a painting that others liked, but I didn't. Starting over is a blessing and a curse. It can give you a freedom to let go since you don't have anything to loose or the existing paint can distract and make it hard to move on. Am not objective enough, but it is a lot better than what was there before.

Tree Abstraction 61
Only one month left until my Easter exhibition, and every painting is done and judged from that perspective. It is not a question if a painting is good or bad, the only thing on my mind is if it possible fit to show. This one is large, but one of the smallest ones that I am considering to include in the exhibition.
Still have to take a better picture of it though.

"Landscape exploration 17"
I have been working on this one for a while. This is the largest size that I do, would like to go bigger, but for now this is big enough.
I was considering to show a painting with the same theme in my easter exhibition, but that one isn't for sale (hanging in my living room), but decided that it was a waste of an opportunity and did this one to exhibit instead.
I am pleased about how the painting turned out, but am going to photograph it again, as soon as I have figured out where and how to photograph paintings in our new house.

"Landscape Exploration 15
This is one of my smaller landscape paintings. I know that it isn't that small, but I don't like going too small, doesn't fit my style of painting. I can go smaller, but I really have to be in the right frame of mind.

This is a larger painting that gave me trouble. I'm not sure if it was the initial composition or the way that I approached the front and back of the original landscape, but it felt disconnected, like the top half of the painting belonged to a different painting.
The bottom half was much rougher than the top and I decided to rework the top half and this is the result. I am glad that I went for it and didn't settle for something that was average at best.

Landscape Exploration 14
SOLD
I did have something else in mind with the lower part of this painting, but I couldn't make it work, so I had to use my own intuition. Some things look great in a picture (real life), but it doesn't mean that it translate in a good way when painting it.

After a few wipes it was time to slow things down and not rush it. I am pleased with this medium size landscape, but I had to work for it. I am not in the zone yet. I just have to remind myself to slow down, not over think things and have fun.

Flower Abstraction 103
I am about to start painting again, am a little to eager to start right now, so I have to relax and not rush things. This is a square version of a painting that I posted earlier. Both paintings were painted back in June.
Some of you might have noticed that I have started to sign smaller paintings a little bit different, not included the year when it is painted. Not sure if this will be a permanent thing, but the thought is to make it easier to sign smaller paintings and not making it so visible.
