Suffering for my art
I have been painting a series of miniature horizons. This is the first with a couple of clouds. Oil on birch plywood, 9 x 9 cm. Pardon my fingertips. Very lucky to still have them after an incredibly stupid accident with my table saw.
Nora
In the summer of 2019 I found an old photograph of a young woman and I was intrigued by her pose and the confident, calm look on her face. One hand was hiding behind her and the other hand was clenched in a fist. I wanted to make a rather large painting of her, but […]

Another diptych done
And this one is for the Helsingborg show in August too.

I am working on a few pieces to take back with me for the August show in Helsingborg. These pieces are indicating times gone by.
How can it be so hard?
My third diptych is in the works, but it is taking time. I have rarely struggled so much with a piece as this one…? This morning it looked horrible, scary. Let it rest for a while.
