An Art Work A Day

Lots of sleeping today, probably due to the Swineflue vaccine. Hopefully I'll be more awake tomorrow. This calm landscape reminding me of my travelling this summer suits my mood.

Today we had a sports day in a beautiful weather. A bit grey at the start but that was an advantage because it prevented it becoming too warm. Later the clouds broke up. The second photo is from the start of the relay. One team from the tenth graders won of course due to both longer legs but also due to them having quite a few very very good sportsmen and women. My class too have many who do sports so we managed to grab second place. Hurray for 9 B.

At the moment I am up watching the results of the Norwegian election. Very exiting, very close between the two main sides.

These days I work and will continue to work hard on my book project: Working title: "On the mountain". I am very happy about the progress this far. Mountains as well as beaches and islands often have some similar characteristics for example the wide view, the bareness and most of all the closeness to the forces of nature. Although harder to breathe due to wind also the place where I really feel I can breathe.

Paintingwise I explore simplistic ways of capturing the feelings I get when walking along beaches or sitting on one.

Lovely weather today so I finally got to mow some the lawn. Very much overdue. More to follow tomorrow. Tonight I have had a great time remembering about my trip along the coast of Northern Norday this summer which resulted in this painting. I hope you like it.

All my visits to art galleries this summer have given me so much more confidence in daring to believe in my own style and how I choose to interprete my impressions of life and nature. I hope you too like how I see and show you my love for the bare landscape of the North.

Finally I am back to drawing, painting and sketching daily. I am very happy about that. I have also been able to work a bit on my book projects lately and I very much look forward to getting some first drafts ready for part of it.

One problem I am facing these days is that I am painting late and thus photographing late as well which causes some reflections and also that the flash makes the texture of the canvas show clearer than when you see it only through eyes. I guess I need to become a big ahead in my painting so that I have time to take better photographs in natural light

This one looks really well both with a white or a black mount. Here I tried to capture the feeling as well as the landscape, because being in this amazing nature went into the core of me and influenced not only the eyes but the heart.
