Arting with Nina
By spotogspindel | August 11, 2010
Sometimes it gets a little lonely working in solitude every day, so I was so happy that my very creative friend Nina wanted to spend the day painting with me.
She wanted to make a calender-book, and managed to pre-paint her whole book (about half a year). She was very pleased with her book 
And I thoroughly enjoyed her company!
I finally finished painting the pages in my book too, did some other small paint-jobs, and started a small painting on canvas and wood. When I saw this frame in the shop, I immediately thought I´d let the motif float off the canvas and onto the frame. The house is a boathouse from Austevoll, an island just north of here.
The finished painting is 21 x 21 cm including the wooden frame.
I like the effect of painting over the edges of the frame And I´m quite pleased with the tranlucense (?) of the sea too.

Oh it looks like a fine effect, it adds another dimension
There’s an english abstract artist who paints in violent colours and uses the frame to the same effect… hmm forgotten his name sorry

I paint with acrylics.
And I mix it with matte medium and just layer it on.
The wood is really dry, so I haven´t done anything extra to preserve it.
I only make art for one century at a time
