My better half wanted me to do a new bigger version of "That time of year 2". I said OK, but made clear that I didn't want to try recreate it, but rather do a bigger one inspired of it. This is the result. Bigger canvas, bigger brushes and a lot of fun doing it.

Another painting based on the experience of walking around, looking up and see the trees with their fall leaves. Tried to keep it loose and not get stuck on details.

Last harvest of the season

 SOLD

This is the first painting I did of the tomatoes that was picked from the garden. The last ones, mostly green ones, slowly changing color to become ripe.

This is my first bigger and more complex try, after I did two small experiments. The background is colorful, but this time I stayed with similar colors and not the rainbow approach. I will do more of these. Had a lot of fun.

Birch Trees 5

This is a continuation of my first Birch-trees painting. I took the concept and pushed it further than I did then. This is more expressive with the brush-strokes and colors. The first one was simpler and had a limited color pallet, this one ... doesn't.

One persimmon fruit and 3 Horse-chestnuts

Did this one a few days ago. I bought Persimmon fruits and tried some compositions (alone and with other objects). I really liked them in combination with Horse-chestnuts, but it isn't a secret that I love Horse-chestnuts. Here is the result anyway, a fun and playful painting inspired of one of the photos I took.

Holly Berries

 SOLD

I did a painting earlier of some berries on a bush, trying to capture the fall. It was a challenge on Daily Paintworks and I called the painting "Autumn berries". Tracie who bought the painting, recently asked me to paint a complementary painting to it and she wanted the theme to be Holly leaves and berries. We agreed that it shouldn't be too X-mas. This is the result. Am also putting up a picture with both paintings together.

3 Horse-chestnuts in a row

SOLD

 

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Sweden, but I wish those who do, a very happy one. I did this horse-chestnut painting a few days ago, and I am very satisfied in how it turned out.

A while back I played around with an idea that object lacked color, and the background and negative spaces were filled with over the top colors. The focus isn't on the object but rather on the meeting of the object and it's surrounding. This is a 2nd take on that idea. I have reduced the object compared to the first try, got a more abstract feeling.

That time of year 6

After a small detour from trees and landscapes, I am back painting a small tree painting. I am considering leaving small paintings for a week or so, and only do some larger paintings. That will probably mean that I will not post a new painting every day like now.

Cherries 4

Wasted, in the trash.

Haven't done any cherries for a while, thought it was time for it. It might not be as loose as some of my other work, but I think it worked out in the end.

Water Lilies 2011.18

Haven't done much Water Lilies lately. It has been my favorite subject for many years, always trying to find new ways to do them. I have been more interested in the leaves on the water, than the flowers /(reminds me of PAC-man). I have mostly done buds, and to be honest, had difficulty finding a good way to do a fully open flower. With so many petals, it is hard to be a line-based style and be able to make it work, at least I have. Slowly as my style has loosened up I have started to feel comfortable doing fully open flowers.  I am happy with the result of this one.

3 persimons

I did paint this fruit for a challenge a few months ago, and I liked the result a lot then. Thought I get back and do some more. Trying some different ideas, having fun as usual. Kept it simple with loose brush strokes.

3 ripe tomatoes

Wasted, in the trash.

Back to those last tomatoes of the season. Took some liberties when it came to their colors, there were some that were between green and red, but I decided to keep the contrast. I was playing around, having fun with it.

3 Horse-chestnuts

 Finally time for one of my favorite subjects for the moment. Tried to keep it rough and fresh. Not sure what it is that I like about them, but I think it is a combination of color, shape, forms and sizes.  This is almost kind of a family of Horse-chestnuts.
