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 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…
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.…
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…

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…
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…
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…
So I've done a lot of thinking lately. For the last week or so, I've actually kept myself from painting and drawing much. Why would you do such a thing, you ask? The answer is that I've been running too fast. So fast that I've actually started painting and drawing before I even knew what…
So, in 2018 I painted this acrylic painting, which ended up being one of my favourite paintings over the years: I like how calm it looks, but with a crashing, chaotic wave to balance it in the center. Since I've enjoyed it so much, I decided I wanted to make something more out of it.…
Having fun with the digital programs again. This time I added a fishing boat to an acrylic painting I made last year. The big wave in the distance don't seem to bother the captain. Or maybe he hasn't noticed it yet. In that case, let's hope he does. Have a great day!
