Birch abstraction 5

It is over a year ago that I did my last Birch tree painting. Those trees have a graphic quality that I like. I kept a limited color palette on this one and had some fun with it.

Flower Abstraction 68

SOLD (WON)

Haven't painted anything in over a week. Even though the flue part is over, I still cough and am not back to perfect health yet. Coughing at night also mean less sleep, and I am tired a lot.
I did this one earlier, and this is probably my contribution to the art lottery that is held during "the Easter art exhibition". All artists in the guild that exhibit during Easter, give one painting to the lottery. There is time to change my mind though.

I did this one before I went with the limited palette. It got a more illustrative look and the path lead me to do more details than I initially had in mind, but that is part of the process.

This is a new version of a composition I painted a while back. It is one of those personal favorites I got, and I kept the original painting myself. I decided to do another one that could be part of my exhibition in April. It is the same size as the original, both are huge. There is always things that can't be replicated, but I think this one can stand on it's own, and I like it a lot.

This is a very spontaneous and exploratory  painting of yellow cone flowers.

Tree Abstraction 48

SOLD

I am sick with the flue, so not getting anything done right now. This is one of a series of paintings with a very limited color palette. The hardest part was to know when to stop, not overworking it.

Forest Exploration 10

SOLD

This is one of my new tree/forest paintings. It has an abstract feel to it, but has a natural look when it comes to colors and atmosphere.

I know I should paint more smaller paintings, but end up going bigger and bigger with the focus on my Easter exhibition. This is as small as they come right now and is a colorful bird nest.

I am considering to revisiting birch trees, has been a while.

I painted a few variation of this composition. With this one I wanted to work more with depth, but without loosing impact. I also went up in size, trying to keep the bold brush work.

Forest Exploration 9

SOLD

This was my first forest/tree painting, the one that got me starting playing around with this theme again. I wanted to use a lot of values, with the sunlight finding it's way to the ground.

Flower Abstraction 58

SOLD

 

This was an exploration of multiple flower shapes, perhaps there will be a full flower bouquet some day.

Flower Abstraction 67

 SOLD

I was considering posting another tree painting, but decided against it, and will mixing things up. This is a flower abstraction based on the idea of a sunflower. I like those a lot, not sure why.

Landscape Exploration 1

SOLD

My two worst enemies are "Over thinking" and "Rushing things" (going to loose too fast), which resulted in no tree paintings last year.
I have finally gotten through that barrier and have done several paintings now. Today's post isn't something that I think is a perfect fit with my style, a landscape. I was talking to my father about what to paint and he suggested a photo that he took last year and that was a challenge.
I am sure I can develop this further, going bolder and more abstract, but I learned a lot during this process.

Persimmon Abstraction 1

This is a new version of a painting I did two years ago. The only thing that they have in common is the composition, otherwise they are as different as day and night. I like the old one, but a lot has happened since then and I thought I would be able to make something new with it.

This is a new version of a painting/composition that I did in July last year. The original was very direct and had a certain simplicity over it. It was one of those paintings that painted itself. Very few brush strokes was needed. I wanted to go a little further with this one, and I am very satisfied with the result.
