When I put this still life together I really liked it, but when I painted it, it really gave me a hard time. I am not saying that I did it bad, but the complexity of the composition made me play it safe and I lost some of the playfulness that I want to bring to my paintings. I was satisfied with it, but a part of me thought that it lacked something, so I took a chance and went for it. I think it worked.

I didn't buy this due to it's wonderful shape and character, but I found it in my fridge when I was cooking dinner, and I had to photograph it and paint it. The process did delay my cooking, but I love the painting, so it was worth it.

This is my first painting I have done after my not attentionality break. A blank canvas can be so scary and it is hard when everything you do look like "s--t".
My intension right now is to do things I like doing, and have fun with it, play with it. So no masterpieces, but at least I will have fun and that is more important.

Peppers and artichoke

Tried some new things a week ago. Have never done an artichoke before, so it was a challenge to keep it graphic enough, make it my style and not make it shiny.

Here is another of my recent more restrained paintings. I wanted this to have relaxed feeling, but still graphic and crisp.
Right now I have just finished two large painting of  landscapes. They are based on the same composition, but I took them in different directions. I wanted to see what I could do with a more "normal" scene. Where there is more variation and less repetition. Will post them soon.

Peppers and a fennel bulb

This is one of the new vegetables that I have tried out. I like the shape and the color of it. Had a lot of fun doing this painting, and the composition talked to me right from the start.

Not for Sale

I sold my favorite pepper painting (World of peppers 1). I wasn't sure if I wanted to sell it, but now when it is done, I thought I make another one for myself, the same composition. I didn't want to make an identical copy, so I did it in a larger size and naturally it have more details in it. I love them both, so I am happy with it.

After working on the small side, I decided to upscale things. I don't like to do more complex compositions on small canvases. I rather go up a size so I can let my lines flow. With this one I did go a little over the top with colors. Did tone it down a little in the end, but I still like the glow of it.

This year is coming to it's end and a new is about to start. Like a wheel without start or end, we continue our lives. Perhaps like a pepper wheel?

World of peppers number 1

SOLD

This was my first pepper painting, and my personal favorite (I think). It was the first composition that caught my eyes when going through a lot of photographs that I took while trying things out.

This is the 4th one I did. It has a simple composition, and I tried to try something new with the colors. There is a slight reflection in the black line again. I love to use Golden Fluid Acrylics, but the downside is that the black one at least is so shiny when it's dry. Have varnished it, but photographing right now is hard, with the light going down early up here in the north, and sometimes I think small imperfections show the real painting, rarely does a photograph do the painting justice.

Perhaps I am crazy, posting during this holiday, but a little crazy is good I think, right? Haven't posted these in order, not sure if there is a reason or not, I might, but am not totally convinced. In real life I am back painting cherries, larger ones (well semi large, 12" x 12").

Not sure how many that will spend the time looking on art during this holiday, but I post this one anyway.

I wish all my friends, family,  fellow artists, art lovers and viewers a....

Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year!

Well, so far I have done 6 paintings with all kind of peppers, and there will be more. This is for me an exploration in color, shapes and compositions. There will be simple ones, chaotic ones, complex ones and so on. Most of them is on the rough side, but I think they still got a crisp and graphic look. You may like some, hate others.
PS! There is a slight reflection in the black line on the upper half of the painting. The fluid acrylic paint is a little shiny when it is dry. Have varnished the paintings, and will photograph them again.
