This one didn't end up like I intended it to do. I had some ideas about the background, but it didn't work out, so I adjusted it and added parts of cupcakes on each side, so it is like a display, cupcakes in a row.

Super Size Fruit 6
When I painted this I liked the pile of cherries, but I had no idea in what context I wanted to have them in. I decided to go dark, moody and almost an almost colorless background. I might do another one with more vivid colors later.

Rowan Berries 5
This series of paintings have been so much fun and so far contains 9
paintings. Some are more restrained, others are very loose and abstract. This one is one of the more abstract ones.
I
started this painting a little different than what I usually do. I
didn't use any lines in the beginning, I just blocked out objects with
color. I did take a few progress photos with my phone. They are not
great, but I hope they give you an idea of the process.

A year between them - progress
One of my favorite artists, Julie Ford Oliver, had a review of her work to show how much her art had changed in a year. She showed an older painting along side a new version of it, which made it easier to see how her approach and technique have changed.
I have made new versions of several old paintings. These paintings was inspired by the same photo. The left one was painted in July 2012 and the right one in July 2011. Just thought I share what happened in a year.

Rowan Berries 3
I have really put a lot of time into exploring these berries, the micro universe of looking into a small part of a tree. The last ones has been more abstract than the first and it has been a fun journey. The count so far is eight Rowan Berries paintings. I hope I get some other paintings done so I can mix things up.

Super Size Fruit 5
I only got one fabric that has inspired me to use in a painting and I have done several paintings with these orange and white kitchen towels. I have plans to go and buy some more fabrics to use in paintings, but so far I haven't got around to do it.
This painting suit my "Super Size Fruit" series and the last DPW challenge for this year, "The Paint Some Fabric Challenge".
I wish everyone A Happy Creative New Year.

Cupcake 9
SOLD
I forgot to post this one. I painted it around the same time I did "Cupcake 8" and it has a similar playful close-up composition.

Super Size Fruit 7
Well, this one is a tricky one. I have done zoom in compositions of tomatoes before, but it is a while ago and I was curious how it would look now. My style has changed over time. The tricky part is that most people use tomatoes as vegetables (including me), but they are really fruits, so this do fit the series.
I tried to keep it as simple and clean as possible.

Rowen Berries 1 (progress)
I just realized that I did take two progress pictures of my first Rowen berries painting. Thought I share them with you.
Merry X-mas to you all.

Super Size Fruit 6
I have finally tried to get it done and I went with the same size as earlier. The composition also suited my new series of painting and I think it was worth the wait.

Super Size Fruit 2
There will be more Rowen berries later, but first another "Super Size Fruits" painting. I have painted a lot this past week and I have had a lot of fun, more than usual in fact. I think the break was a good thing. Things had time to sink in and I recharged my creative battery.
I want to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year.

Rowan Berries 1
I have done paintings with unknown red berries before, but this autumn I took a lot of photographs of Rowen trees. The colors was amazing. I have finally got them on canvas (or should I say panel).

Super Size Fruit 3
I revisited raspberries with this one. I think I found a good balance between detail and keeping it simple. I didn't go as rough and loose as the first one, but I didn't get lost with the details either. I tried to keep it clean, simple and graphic. I had a lot of fun with it.

Bell pepper abstraction 3
Before it was a series, only one painting done, I did this one, a single bell pepper with character.

Super size fruit 1
I am back!
It has been a couple of crazy months, both good and bad things happened. I started to renovate my apartment to take my mind of the bad things. First the hallway and now I am a week from having a new bathroom.
My last post was on the 20th of November and I haven't done any painting for a month (walls don't count). I finally got started yesterday again, and the focus right now is to get painting into my system again.
If I don't keep on painting I loose motivation. My biggest motivation is progress and to explore.
It was really hard to get going again. I will try to do things that I like, even redo old paintings that I think I could do better or different know.
I went very rough with this one. I am not in the mood to work small or doing a lot of details. I like flaws, they give a painting character.
