Thursday, March 4th, 2010Actually I am about to fly away! In just a couple of weeks I am heading for the States. I will tell you more about my trip later (it is the perfect combination of business and pleasure!), but as for now, do any of you have must-see recommendations for San Francisco, Las Vegas (not into [...]
gift for Eidesvik
Friday, February 26th, 2010Here is a picture I made for Eidesvik Offshore ASA. They needed a present, and I am always happy when they ask me to help them.
The recipient is from Oma in Hordaland, and that is also where this old boat-house is.
Frugård
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010What happened to my wooden pictures? I delivered them last week, and the grand opening of the “new” café Frugård, in Leirvik, Stord. It´is an old bakery and café with a long tradition. The owner wanted to renew and remodel, but still keep the same good atmosphere. The place now looks pretty amazing, with vintage [...]
The big experiment!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Well, what do you know. I´m finished! The biggest picture needs another coat of varnish tomorrow, but all the experimental painting that I´ve been so nervous about, is done. And it turned out quite good. If I have to say so myself
Here are some photos of the last part of the process.
Mixing up [...]
Varnish
Monday, February 15th, 2010I´ve been trying out different types of varnish, and the effects they leave. Here is the first part of the process, with painting the texture.
It doesn´t show until the third layer of the varnish-aging process, but then you clearly see where you´ve not had enough of the first layer… (and then it´s too late) Better [...]
Creative Friday!
Saturday, February 13th, 2010I finally finished the first part of the big wooden picture, and decided to celebrate by taking the evening off, and doing something fun. Which to me means creating and spending time with friends. Preferably both at the same time
While waiting for my creative friends to come over, I decided to start with [...]
wooden painting # 3 update
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Here are some day-to-day pics of the big wooden picture.
It´s taking it´s time, but there are so many details to get right.
Getting closer… a few more days now.
New audio-book. This time it´s Minette Walters. Some authors use a lot of words to tell a story. She´s one of them.
33
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010One of the pictures (before it is framed) I sold at the Christmas exhibition at Galleri Giga.
As for the audio-books, Dan Brown has delivered a serious homage to new-age. I didn´t really see that coming…
The next book (Norwegian author) is about how difficult it is to be a celebrity. Until you´re actually “discovered”. Hm.
Wood cut workshop
Sunday, February 7th, 2010I attended a wood-cut workshop last night. Our teacher, Jan Terje Rafdal, is a very talented graphic artist.
Here he is in his studio. A very inspiring place, might I add. He is also a great painter, and you can see some of his oil-paintings here.
Here he is showing some of his work, and how metal etching [...]
Third Eidesvik reception picture
Friday, February 5th, 2010Eidesvik Offshore ASA is one of the two main offshore companies I´ve been working with on a lot of ships. They asked me if I could make some pictures for their newly decorated reception. I made two pictures, and when I came with them, they asked if I could make one more.
The employees in Eidesvik [...]
