I don't dislike seagulls. But I don't really like them either. They can be funny when standing there, out on the grass, tapping their feet like little drumsticks. Apparently they do so to produce vibrations that mimic the sound of raindrops. That brings up the worms from the earth, to snatch up for a little…
I’m not sure whether or not I like this painting. But it was quite interesting painting it. After a quick wash, blending some red and yellow watercolor, I decided to scrape on the rest of the paint using a palette knife. I first used some black gouache for the cliff. Then some dark green and…
I drew a wall in my last post. An old, worn down brick wall. It was fun. So I wanted to draw another one. In a loose style. This is how it turned out: I think it ended up looking pretty cool. But I wanted to try to add some colors. So I uploaded it…
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…
It's been a while since I've painted these little pieces. So it was time for another one. Out of training, it didn't turn out that well. I'll need to get back into it. But this wasn't about the result. Just getting it done. So I can do it again. I hope you like it, and…
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.…
This is a digital painting that reminds me of northwest Norway. High, pointed peaks, dressed in snow and ice. A clear, dark, blue sky, sprinkled with a set of stars. The cold, sharp air, cleansing the lungs with each breath. And an all-consuming silence.
This wasn't supposed to end up like some gingerbread land. Not at all. It was supposed to end up like an authentic sunset sailing. But when the boat ended up looking like a gingerbread cookie, I might as well decorate it with some frosting. Lying there, all capsized on the rocks, it looks like a…
I've made a lot of these tree drawings lately. So many, actually, that I feel quite done with them. But I had to make a last one. Because I had it pictured all clear in my head. So I set to work, with the aim of just getting it done. No real pleasure about it.…
