To get a clear view of where you are, you need to know where you started. At least I guess that's true. Well, I was browsing through my media library on wordpress the other day. And suddenly I'd reached the bottom. Not in the depressing way it might sound like.. The bottom being my first…
It's fascinating watching the coastal birds surveilling the sea. Flying close to it's surface. Sometimes moving simultaneously with the waves. Waiting. Watching. Then striking. Just a second with it's feet below water. Then heading straight towards the cliffs to devour the meal. Not enjoying the wonderful view. But being a part of it.
This is a digital painting I made about a week ago. I don't know why, but I wanted to paint a boat in trouble. I hadn't really intended to add people to the situation, but when the boat was done it felt a bit empty. It's quite a long swim to safety, especially in those…
A little painting I made on my Ipad last night. Nothing fancy, really. Just a normal, nice, sunny day. It's places like this I would love to spend more time. Everyday life just moves so fast that I can't remember it. But when I get out of the house. Out into nature. I always wonder…
I've been doing a lot of digital painting lately. Simply because there hasn't been much time to paint. And when there's not much time, digital painting is the far most efficient way to get things done. But all the paintings are just sitting there on my computer now. So I thought, why shouldn't they also…
Life can take us in so many different directions, which will probably, with time, make huge differences in how our lives play out. Some choices you get to make. Others get chosen for you, or are mere coincidences. I guess the key is to find happiness on the road you've ended up. Anyway, that's what…
This is a fisherman in his very special place. Maybe it's a dream. Or perhaps a daydream. But it's a happy place. A place where he can be himself, in every way. The weather is warm. The light lasts through the night. There is no destination. He is already there.
There is something very vulnerable about the thought of not being able to do what you love anymore. For some, retirement seems like a liberation. For others, a degradation. For a fisherman, his work seems like such a massive part of his personality. Someone who is proud, strong and weather-beaten, and always hard at work.…
This is my third digital oil painting, and I'm having a blast making them. It felt right putting in a fisherman in this one. But I don't feel that he's trapped there. I feel that he's longing to get back out to sea. How he'll manage it, I don't know. But I feel confident that…
I just have to say it. I am very proud of this painting. It's inspired by a small Island not far from where I grew up, where there's an old lighthouse. And basically just an old lighthouse. It's abandoned now, and slowly withered by the crashing sea. I've always imagined how it looked in it's…
