The lighthouse at Kullaberg

A very dull and difficult view of Kullaberg, very hard for me (anyways) to do something with it. Hasse is out with his traditional small fishing boat, two porpoises are surfacing briefly, the beam from the legendary lighthouse is NOT on during the day… that is just because of the famous artistic freedom, ha ha. Just another landscape exercise. The tiny white lighthouse close to the water my dad designed in the sixties! The piece is 19 x 58 cm and will receive a few layers of varnish.

Another Arild painting

Aren’t sunsets the cheesiest stuff you can paint? Sorry!
The size is 25 x 58 cm, oil on plywood. Fits in my luggage.

Cut out

Many hours later… I am making a sign to put up on our gate.

10 000 hours

According to Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers it takes 10 000 hours of practice to become really good at anything. Talent or high IQ is of lesser importance that just plain grit, patience, endurance. I find that inspiring, because it means “I can do it” if I just keep at it. So now I am working hard, doing works that may not be art, but exercises that can lead to something. These four little pieces are from Arild. The coastal paintings are my main focus, the one of the fields was just a little insignificant test, maybe to prove that I am not a landscape painter (yet). Each piece is 12 x 20 cm, oil on plywood.
