I started a new series today and hope you will like it. It combines a very very simplistic form with me trying to show a relationship and dynamic movement even with such limited use of shape and colour and other effects.

I find working towards my goal in life pretty hard some days and many a day I feel less in control than I would like to. Wouldn't we all love it if the help-yourself-books and similar were as easy roads towards being happy and content as each guru tries to tell us it is - if only we do as he or she tells us. Weight loss is one of my hardest challenges. Well, tomorrow is another Monday and another week. Wish me luck. I wish all readers struggling with something the very best of luck this coming week.

Tonight there is this big dance and party outdoor summer event locally but I must admit that after having spent all of yesterday in a funeral that partying was very far from my wishes tonight. I can even hear the bass from the band still through my walls and it is 1 am. I will be among the happy ones tomorrow morning due to no hangover though.

I painted this one as a contrast to "Pink Beast". It is not meant to be a certain species and to be frank I kind of see it sometimes as a bird and sometimes as a prehistoric species. As usual it is the feeling or emotion and expression that matters the most to me and I therefore prefer my subjects to be non-realistic and non-species specific. For the same reason most of my figures have only indicated some facial expressions because I do not want to show a specific human being but more a specific human emotion or experience. I like body language because it is so expressive. I hope to continue to develope using this kind of ways to express things. That leads me into studying cartooning as well as oriental art because both use non photorealistic ways of expression. I hope you enjoy those works of mine.

This painting I had a lot of fun making. My daughter found it scary. I look forward to knowing how other persons react. If you'd like then there is a comment feature below each post that you can use to give your comments.

The last days I have worked in semiabstracts and abstracts and end up doing monocromes. Every canvas panel I start working on in several colours end up washed down over and over again so I gues LOL I will just have to follow my muse untill she will allow me to work in multicolours again. I have had this one standing beside the tv all night and it makes me smile every time because the contrast of a beast and the colour pink is so special.

I am experimenting a bit these days with making the mounting and things like that be part of the expression. Here is one of the ideas I am playing with - using mounts in different ways.

My daughter's comment on seeing this painting was that she would like me to make a series using the topic "blind". Maybe I will if my muse will allow me. Keep visiting my blog or DPgallery and you will get to know.

Today I have spent most time washing and putting out poison to try to get those ants that keep eating on our holiday house. Hopefully there is nobody else eating besides the mice that I saw feces after and the ants that I saw running around. I will travel up there in a few days again and see whether the problem has improved.

Today's painting is another of my social commentary ones.

I was quite happy with this work and I must tell you that I showed the "conquerer" to my daughter without giving any title and she saw a battlefield with lots of figures and faces and parts of persons too. And the person could be a death angel or a battle commander or even the last one standing.

A friend of mine who is a poet said:
" my eyes first glance at the figure......then my eyes quickly scan scenery because i notice faces (especially in the bottom right hand quarter of the painting). for some reason i am really drawn towards that section. i get a strong vibe that the figure is very symbolic. it all seems very spiritual to me. i feel this painting represents braving fears and reaching goals by never losing site of your purpose. "


An artist friend said: "The conquerer is kind of lost, looks more conquered than a winner."

Things like these are what makes working in abstracts so fascinating. The only 3 persons that had seen it had seen so many different things. Imagine how many things a whole group of persons could see . . . . . . :-) As long as people see something, as long as my work starts some kind of reaction then I am happy. It does not have to be positive or what I believed only some kind of reaction. Non interest is the worst that can happen - someone hating the painting is better.
So please use the comments option beneath and write what you see and think when looking at this painting.
