Developing paintings based upon feedback
Sometimes feedback is of great value. Not only as a signal from the world (as the one from Portugal in August) that someone out there is reading my blog and looking at my paintings, but direct comments from other atrists of how to improve my work.
Present painting from the beautiful HjørundfjordSee Sunnmørsalpene and valley Nordangsdalen is a repainting of a work I made this summer. Gunnar (with many years of drawing and painting ships) and an excellent illustrator and previous working colleague, gave me concrete feedback on how to improve the light and shadow of the water.
I am not sure that the repainted performance is up to expectations and thus quality (Q=P/E), but the response is of such value for me that a blogpost to his honor became a must. Thanks.

Studio autumn 2005
When moving home from our summer residence and bringing some of the last months production home with us, I had a need to reorganize the walls of my studio. Some of the old paintings have still a special meaning for me, and are again up at the wall. Some of the new ones are also hung up as a visualization of my work.
It is only a single word that covers this studio gallery; Colours!

Photo Galleries
I have now added to my blog two "Zeitgeist" photo galleries. One that show paintings based upon other painters works, and one of my own creativity.
The versions of some great masterpieces and other painter´s works which I have seen in museums, galleries or on the net, are not copies but imitations. The expresionists have made a great influence of my colour choices and hopefully you may see the same in my original works. The motives may be found confusing and without any governing idea, but I believe they are a mirror of my life, dreams and mind. I have had a great time in the process of making most of them.
Hopefully you will like my works and found them interesting.

The summer is over
Since May 27 we have lived at our summer resort (a TV and web free zone) and experienced all four seasons during these 14 weeks. In the begining the weather was really bad; cold, rainy and windy. End June we went to visit Skagen in Denmark and the summer decided to explode. The heat nearly up to +31 continued two weeks after our return. When we got visitors from UK the swap between rain and sunshine made very bad BBQ planning.
In the last weeks of August the autumn has arrived together with clear night sky, sparkling stars and close to +5 celcius in the early mornings. Then it was due for return to our city appartment, and tonight we again may turn on the TV and have open line to the world through Internet.
We are, however, looking forward to move up to Tullarbo again next spring.
September is here.
