Still Life No. 14

January 24, 2019

Another still life painting completed, also 20 x 56 cm. Oil on plywood.

The strange upside down painting I started a while ago is now complete with four images. It was hard to make and it is hard to study it, kind of mind boggling. The painting can be turned around and then it changes. Below two images of the same painting.

Another, larger still life

I am planning the studio tour at Easter in Sweden and need two somewhat larger still life paintings. This one is finished. I have not come up with titles for the still life paintings, but this one should be something like Vitamin C or the real deal?? 20 x 56 cm, oil on plywood.

My beloved Gunny, a most amazing and wonderful mare, I have been so lucky… Oil on plywood, 48 x 48 cm. Quarter horse and registered paint; her father is Gunner (Colonels Smoking Gun), a famous reining horse that has been a sire for many, many successful reining horses. Every day is a joy to ride her and let her teach me stuff.

New, strange piece

Focus Left or Right (just turn the painting around), oil on birch plywood, 48 x 48 cm. The piece can be hung either way or you can just turn half of your body around to look at it upside down… very weird how the eyes shift direction. I have certainly never done anything quite like this before.
