This blog will mainly be directed to the non-norwegian speaking world, and for persons interested in art and painting in particular. For Norwegian information about my concerns please see <a href="http://arneogtullen.blogspot.com/">Arne´s Blog</a> In 2002 I started after many good advices and push from friends to paint. Since then more than 200 paintings have been worked out.

Almost two months since last blogpost. No activity in painting studio, problems with internet connection and almost 3 weeks holiday and hospitalisation in Spain must take all the responsibility for the delay.However, this painting was one of the positive experiences form the hospital Clinica Santa Elena at Los Alamos Andalucia. I found it at a wall in ground floor, liked it and if you visit the

Sometimes you see a painting that you like more than other. My sister has had one at home for many years and I have always liked that work.Therefore I decided last time I visited her home to study the painting, and make my version of the same motive as many other painters have used; the Fiddler. (See also Here and Here)As I try to keep this blog updated with all my artworks and paintings, I this

As expected the bedroom owner did not want nudes at the wall. That is the daily life, and a normal situation for an unknown painter. Some likes what you do and some does not. The end of the story is that I myself have had a nice time doing these paintings (the process is important), and if I was a famous painter they would probably be sold at acceptable prices.So as a result these paintings are

In my last blogpost I presented a proposal for a bedroom "wallpaper". The painting was perhaps too small (74x50) for the wall planned, so I made a Partner for the Sitting nude.Together these two paintings as a diptych will cover 74 x 105 cm of the wall.Same colours as the background, and put together, they will cover a story not to be told in this blog but in the bed.Hopefully the erotic

To follow up the previous mentioned Picasso attitude to erotic art, and include a desire to have a painting suitable in a Turquoise or Icewater blue bedroom, this Sitting nude has been done.If the owner of the bedroom wants the painting, it is delivered within short. If not, it will be stored together with other painings made this summer.In addition I have made an Ultrablue image of the island

The Northwestern part of Norway is the most beautiful part of this country.The fjords and valleys are some of the most spectacular sceneries of the world, and Geiranger is may be the most beautiful place in the world. Here you can also see paintings by Terje Fagermo.From Geiranger you may take the ferry to Hellesylt and visit Norangsdalen.This painting is made from a photo taken at Hellesylt,

When art historican Jean Leymarie was preparing a talk for a symposium on art and sexuality, he asked his friend Picasso where he drew the line between these two concepts. The painter replied: "They are the same thing, because art can only be erotic."This comment is taken from the book by Diana Widmaier Picasso with the same title as the heading for this blogpost.The line between erotic art and

Six new canvas have been made ready for new paintings, and my paperworks can take a break. This Picasso inspired painting (acryllic on paper) is used as a wallpaper at our "utedo" among pictures of royalyties from different countries. I just had to do something with my paintbrushes and ended up with this.In my Norwegian blog I have told about a visit to Geiranger and Terje Fagermos (with

Due to lack of canvas during the weekend, I had to make these paintings om paper.However, based on previous experience this medium is still one of my favourite, and the result ("Meditation" above and "Afternoon at the cottage" below) is satisfaying the hunger for painting.

After seeing the exhibition "A modern classic" at the National Gallery by Olle Bærtling at the same time I made another abstract painting, I decided to do an imitation of one of O.B.´s works. I call the last painting "Heaven and Earth".These two (or three) paintings now cover the walls at my Dining room at the cottage.May be the walls have to be repainted too.

Just in case anybody have some spare time this summer, a visit to Blaafarveverket is highly recommended. There you can see Tullen´s favorite painting by P.S.Krøyer "Marie under the rosetree", and compar it to her photo of her favorite lover in the shadow at the cottage.

Two of our friends, Bitte and Terje, have reorganized their cottage internally. They have moved walls and made a new kitchen floor and furnitures. The walls have new colours, mostly in light grey and Gustavsberg blue. This painting I made for the Toppen cottage and gave it away on our first card-evening this summer. Of course I was the winner of the cardplay. The painting I called "Fiskevær" to

Colours and lines Originally uploaded by ArneA. Sometimes it is only relaxing to make paintings. Well not so that I only threw colours on the canvas, but relaxing in the way that it does not need to look like anything. It has only to do with my own process. May be that is what abstractions are.This time I decided to put colours together in a way that I would like to look at it. Try to

I don´t like vandalism. Deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property is not acceptable. Not even as a political protest or manifestation like the Kaliban destruction of the ancient Budda sculptures in Afganistan, or cutting the head of the mermaid in Copenhagen.

When the winter is over and we may call it Springtime outside, it is time to finalize some of the paintings I started to work on in 2006. This one is based on memories and a photo taken in Nordal, Norway last autumn when we visited Per Cato´s new cottage. It is not an architectural wiev, but a free version of the cold, almost clear, sunny day, and the cottage hidden from the sun by dark mountains

In all times painters have been making their versions of the four seasons. By combining colours and situations from nature and culture painters have tried to cover what public may think of in Springtime, Summertime, Autumn and Wintertime.

We normally pass the town on our many trips to Copenhagen, but many years ago we visited the town with our children for the amusement park Liseberg. Last week Tullen and I had a few days, evenings and nights by ourselves. A pleasent stay with

Today, October 1st. is it exactly 11 years since the first serious heart attack almost killed me during my stay in Singapore. No details in this blog; only many thanks to family, friends, employer and medical personnel in Singapore and Norway who have helped me through these eleven years. A million thanks to those relatives who said YES to organ donation the day I needed a new heart and a new

Nordangsdalen Originally uploaded by ArneA. 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 Hjørundfjord See Sunnmørsalpene and valley Nordangsdalen is a

Studio 2005 Originally uploaded by ArneA. 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

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

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

The Fisher King Originally uploaded by ArneA. When doing abstract paintings sometimes stories can be discovered as a result of the process and without the meaning and ideas of the enablers. This painting of acryllic on canvas is just one that found its result after layers of paint, washing and scratching.Suddenly I discovered at least three dimentions, and in between a golden fish.You
