This is an acrylic painting with a very chaotic landscape. To calm it down, I wanted to add a focal point. It ended up being a lighthouse. It made it just a little bit calmer. But still too chaotic. But I don’t want to spend more time on it. So this is how it ended…

The Devil’s Night Out?
The funny thing about a loose style, is that happy coincidences happen. Like in this painting. My intention was to depict an island out there, almost covered in a storm. I didn't notice it until the day after. But coming over the hill down there by the shoreline. Is it the devil, out for a…
Is It Good – Or Is It Bad?
I just can't decide about this one. It's an acrylic painting I've made using a palette knife. It's a bit chaotic, which I like. But maybe a bit too chaotic, which is not good. It has some depth, but maybe not enough. And it has some details which I like. But maybe they get lost.…
A Damp Night – Keeping Up With The Acrylics
After a far too long break, it was a fantastic experience getting back to the acrylics. Without really intending it, I've developed a slightly new style in these new paintings. Something a bit more raw. And that feels very right. I'm very pleased with how this one ended up. The contrasts between the bright orange…

Icy Wind – Another Acrylic Painting
I had such a blast last week getting back to the acrylics. With one finished painting down, I just couldn't wait starting on my second. This time, though, I wanted it to look a bit more raw. Giving that palette knife some serious impact. So I tried out a new technique. I started with some…
Winter Storm – A Fantastically Fun Return
I've wanted to get back to acrylic painting for a while now. But it has felt like such a comprehensive medium in these fast-moving days. A need of too much time and equipment. But, that can't stand in the way of it forever. So I decided to just get on with it, and utilize the…
Putting Things in a Frame
I've been kind of occupied lately, putting "old" paintings in frames. Because I think they deserve it, after so much neglect and insecurity about them. Two of my acrylic paintings has therefore gotten wooden frames. I think the frames, which is not painted or lacquered, suits the naturalistic style of the paintings. I hope it…
Blowing Up a Storm
This is an acrylic painting I made in march this year, showing a rough sea blown up by the storm. I just wanted to paint some ocean and waves again, which just felt great. There's not much more to say about it, really. I hope you enjoy it as well! And: All of my acrylic…
Distant Mountain – Running out of colours
These paintings are a result of me wanting to do some acrylic painting, but with very limited amounts of colour. Just a few drops of yellow and red at hand, and a small amount of blue, made my sunset scene look a bit different than usual: It was a fun exercise, though, trying to find…
Back to Acrylics – Northern Sundown
I've missed doing some old, messy paintings using a palette knife. As it is a bit messy, though, it's harder to put into the schedule. So it's been a while since my last acrylic painting. Not anymore, though. This is my first acrylic painting in about four months: To be hones I just wanted to…
