Landscape Abstraction 3


This is one of the most complex landscapes that I have done. At first I did work more with depth, fading colors more in the distance, but it got so boring that I had to go my own way, after all, I am no realistic painter. It was a real challenge, but I like the end result.

Flower Abstraction 97


I have now done a series of larger flower abstraction paintings and I have had a lot of fun pushing colors, shapes and my comfort zone.

Landscape Exploration 5


This is one of the large paintings that I did during and after my exhibition ended. I was very inspired. The paintings is very conceptional and graphic.

Flower Abstraction 94


Some paintings inspire one to take a certain direction, my "Flower Abstraction 93" painting was one of those. After painting a lot of trees, I needed a change, and this was the path I followed. These large flower abstraction paintings are more or less bold, more or less abstract, but they all have in common that I tried to push my limits. This is the first one I did.

Shapes & Movement 18

 
This is a non-figurative abstract painting I did a few weeks ago. I haven't abandoned abstract painting, the non-figurative kind, I am just waiting for some inspiration and ideas.

Landscape Abstraction 5


I have been painting large and mainly landscapes and trees lately, so don't have much to mix up my posts with. I have a few paintings with other themes, but I wanted to show this one first, a favorite of mine. I like the playfulness and composition of this one.

Tree Abstraction 57


This is a small painting with focus on composition, simplicity, colors and contrasts. These small paintings really challenge me, and that can be a good thing.

Landscape Abstraction 1


This little abstract landscape painting inspired me to push the colors in a series of paintings. Have had a lot of fun with it.

Landscape Exploration 9


There is a little fun story attached to this painting. It started out as a hit and miss painting, that I almost scrapped. I liked the left part, but the right part really sucked. I putted it aside and gave it a rest, not sure what to do, I really liked the left side. The day after, I decided to rework the right side, being bold and I think it worked out very well.

Shapes & Movement 22


This is one of my abstract paintings that I did earlier. It is non-figurative, but I must confess that it is hard to not get associations when painting these.

Tree Abstraction 53

I have done this kind of color combinations on larger tree abstraction paintings, but this is the first one that is small. I love these limited color palettes.

Tree Abstraction 56

SOLD

This is another small tree painting, slightly more abstract than the one I posted a few days ago. I was able to transfer some of the elements from my larger paintings into this one. I am starting to enjoy painting small landscapes.

Landscape Exploration 7


This is a new large painting. I got the reference photo from my father, I have put him on photo duty and he does an excellent work. To be honest, he is in better shape than me and he is 83 years old.
I usually pick only part of a reference photo, the feeling, some details, the colors etc. I don't pay much notice to the trees, which might be odd. I might take some placement suggestions from the photo though.

Not the best photograph, but I took it to show the size compared to a 6" x 6" painting.

Flower Abstraction 84


One more flower painting that is loosely based on the Iris flower, but an early one, before  I took it all the way with details. I like the soft value changes between the blues and purples.
