Shapes & Movement 11

This one of my series of non-figurative abstract paintings. I played around with some basic shapes and had fun with it.
I will tell more about my exhibition later. It is a new experience for me and it is really vitalizing to hear peoples reactions to my art.

Flower Abstraction 80

SOLD

This is a duo flower composition from my series of flower abstractions.

Have no much time to paint right now, today is the first day of this years Easter Art event here in Sweden, my first, and I am very exited to get this day started. Some artist open their studios, where the display there art, others like me rent a place to show their art. You can see how it is organized here. I am part of a guild of artists that live in the southwest of Skane (the area where I live).

Landscape Exploration 3


Very busy right now, but thought I take a few minutes posting this one. The same approach as the red/blue limited palette paintings, but at the same time very different.

Shapes & Movement 20


This is another of my more non-figurative abstract paintings. I could say what associations I get now, but that would spoil it for the viewers.
Today I get access and can start hanging my paintings, that will be fun and frustrating I guess.

Flower Abstraction 86


SOLD

A lot of things going on right now, some of it has been shared here. This is one of several small flower abstraction paintings I have done lately.

Display small paintings



I will not know for sure until I hang my paintings, but I assume I will hang a few of the small ones. I  have also constructed  this simple wood holder to show small paintings on a table. To avoid damage to the frames, I have put those rubber sheets you use under carpets on the bottom.

Framed and ready....


I got most of my paintings that has been framed for my exhibition today. The frame I chose give the small paintings depth and body. The paintings in the photo are 6" x 6" and some of them haven't been posted yet.

The frame is for panels and photographs.  The profile is deep, doesn't cover any part of the painting (like a floater), but you don't need to build it up. The depth on the inside where the painting lies is only 1 cm (0,4").

Flower Abstraction 91


SOLD

This is one of a series of small flower paintings I have done lately. I want a all my painting to have impact. When I paint small I try to keep the design and composition simple and graphic, not trying to squeeze too much into it.

Shapes & Movement 14


This the largest abstraction painting I have done so far and I used a panel with  rejected tree painting on it. I painted the whole panel with a red/pink transparent color, letting the old painting shining through, something I have done from time to time. That way I can use the patterns that is created in the new painting.

Tree Abstraction 50


This is the 2nd of three paintings with trees in this limited palette. I will do more paintings like this, but not with these colors.

Flower abstraction 81


It is always nice to surprise oneself. I prefer to paint 12" x 12" or larger, but I had some 6" x 6" and 8" x 8" panels laying around and I thought I better use them to something. I have played around with flower abstractions lately and took the opportunity to use the concept on these panels. I like these a lot. They are clean, graphic and fun.

Shapes & Movement 7

 
After a few abstract paintings based on lines and movement, I did this one, a painting with more focus on shapes. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Flower Abstraction 74


I've got more abstract paintings to show, but I thought I'd mix things up. This painting started what I am doing now. Sure, there have been flower shapes or suggestions of flowers in the more "non-figurative abstract" paintings I've posted so far. This however, is definitively a flower made in an abstract way.

Forest Exploraration 15


This is one of my latest tree exploration paintings. I tried to make a vivid patchwork of colors, but at the same restrained.
