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…

I'm a bit lost for words today. Not because I'm surprised, angry, sad or excited. They are just missing, in an empty kind of feeling. Not empty in a bad way. Just empty. I still want to post a painting, though. A painting that doesn't need too many words. Just a painting that is what…

This digital painting was made without the following thoughts in mind. But when I looked at it afterwards, I felt that it resonated with them. And the thought is, more precisely, how good it is to have taken a step back. A step to where I actually belong at the moment. A lot of fleeting…

There is something very overwhelming about wild nature. It's so real, yet separate from our lives. A reminder of what we've come from, that is easy to forget. I've always been impressed by those who spend time alone in the wild. It's something I want to experience myself. To be able to master it's…
Just to be clear, I am not having a bad day. But these two are: And the new way I'm referring to in the title, is this papery look I've added to the background. At least I hope that's how it looks to others than myself... I don't think I'll walk much further down this…
