 "Blueberry Abstraction 8" (16 x 16 inches)

This is two paintings that was done when I felt like really push the (my) limits. The first one I just went for it, experimented with colors and shapes and had a lot of fun doing it. I liked the result, but I wondered how it would look like if I took more control of it and kept it cleaner, so I painted the 2nd one. I like them both, but for different reasons.

Bird's Nest Abstraction 1

SOLD

A great artist and inspiration for me, Julie Ford Oliver, have been absent for a while. She has been concentrating all her time and energy on different projects. One was an solo exhibition and she posted a few lovely watercolors of the subject of the show, "birds nests", on her blog. I wrote a comment saying "Once again you inspire me, almost want to try out birds nests".
She wrote back saying that she hoped I would and that she could see one painted in my style. Julie can paint anything, me I avoid things that doesn't excite me and I can't paint everything. But I took the challenge and this is my first attempt.

Apple Abstraction 21

SOLD

 AuctionThis is another one of the small paintings I did earlier, an apple study/abstraction. I let the brush strokes speak.

Face Exploration 2

I went very big, detailed and full of brush strokes on the first face study I did. I went the opposite way with this one. It is still kind of big but I only hint the features of a face, keeping it very simple and playful. I only share these studies so you can see my journey.
