Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Anne, my bestest friend, wanted me to make a picture of her mother. Or precisely, she wanted us to make it I gave her a gift-certificate for exactly that for her birthday, (ups, was that really last year?!) and today we finally got together. So here is #37 on my list: This is a picture [...]
Yet another boathouse
Thursday, August 19th, 2010A small boathouse from Austevoll. The acrylic painting is 21 x 21 cm . The same painting, different lighting. I´ve been invited to an exhibition in Austevoll in the relative near future, and am spending my evenings painting landscapes from the area. __________________________________________________ Bill Bryson is reading to me today. A short history of nearly [...]
… and the answer is:
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. – Scott Adams Well, hopefully you can now see what my little painting is… The back of a wooden rowing boat, paint chipping off, a copper propeller coated with verdigris, a rusty direction-blade, and seaweed entangled in the rotor-spine, dragged up [...]
Wayfarer 013
Friday, August 13th, 2010A lighter palette this time, quite the opposite of the warm base. I wonder how this is going to work out… The start, adding layer after layer of acrylics mixed matte medium, to make them see-through (translucent? is that the right word?) Oh, this stage can last for hours and hours and it´s so frustrating [...]
Arting with Nina
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Sometimes 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 [...]
Wayfarer 2
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010Time for another wayfarer-painting. The wayfarer is a small English sail-boat, and I´m working on these pictures for a ship I´m decorating. The beginning, sketching on wood: Adding the red background, and the first layer of washed out blues, all in acrylics. More layers. Even more layers and starting with the details. And then finishing [...]
Skandi Skolten
Monday, July 26th, 2010Another beautiful DOF-ship, newly built at Aukra Verft. The Christening is July 31st in Bergen, at Skoltegrunnskaien, the quay the ship is named after. Here are the pictures I made for this ship. First the lounge: A picture of the ship going to and from America (probably New York) at Skoltegrunnskaien. Queuing to get onboard. [...]
avocado dye
Sunday, July 18th, 2010I came across a how-to on dying with avocado-peel, and wanted to try it out. I love avocados, eat a lot of them, ergo it took no time at all to save up some peel. Next, I found some silk-fabric cut-offs. And a big pan of boiling water. I let the avocado-peel boil for about [...]
Wayfarer-race picture in progress
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010I am working on another acrylic-on-wood picture with English wayfarers. It´s going to be 35 x 170 cm, so it´s taking it´s time. Here is one end of the picture, not finished yet. The sails are looking pretty good, but the boats themselves aren´t really… well, they aren´t at all yet, are they… I am [...]
Skull stool
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Remember my creepy, skull-organ-stool? I had it sent from the States, and it arrived about a month after me. It´s be standing around, looking at me with those big, lacking eyes, wondering if I were ever gonna finish what I started… Well, I finally painted the rest of the stool, a mix of white and [...]
