Northern Beach 1

0 comments Posted by Trine at 10:28 pm

This painting is inspired by a photo my brother has taken in Bodoe, Northern Norway, I really want to visit after painting this one. I was born and raised above the polar circle and sometimes miss the special landscape there. I hope you like it :-)

Probably not the last tree I'll paint towards different backgrounds. The composition intrigues me and ever since I was a small girl I have loved bare trees. I'll probably do some adjustments to the tree trunk.

Palmy Beach SOLD

0 comments Posted by Trine at 9:48 pm


I'm working on a few beaches lately - both southern beaches and nothern. This one is inspired by a photo of Lauderdale Beach in Florida sent me by Lori and is my interpretation. The photo was of a very busy beach but she wanted something calming to put into her great room. She was so impressed by Blue Winter series 4 - Blue mountains and contacted me for a commision.



Palmy Beach Oil on artist canvas panel 24x30 cm - $150 - Sold

And this is what she wrote when she saw it live: "I got the painting today of the beach that I bought from you and I am more than happy. I am elated! " and she also said in another post "OMG!!! Trine!The package arrived today. The Beach is absolutely perfect... and then I dug deeper and saw my Magpie!Holy Hell!! You should have heard me scream in the middle of the post parking lot. I think the whole village now believes I am insane.THANK YOU!!!!!". You see I knew she drooled after the Magpie and since she was my first International buyer and my first buyer in 2007, I threw that one in hehehe. Sounded like she liked my surprise did it not?

 

Blue Mountains were popular - brought me a commision today

Finally ready to post once a day

0 comments Posted by Trine at 7:36 pm


Hi all

As some of you know my plan is to work with art every day. Unfortunately I have not been able to do that completely but most days I work - either painting, with glas work or drawings. Some days i work primarily on improving my skills.


Posting every day is something else. I need to find good routines to do that. Another problem is getting good photos of my paintings, especially since I finish them when natural light is gone - which naturally is most of the day these days. In addition I am at work as a teacher most of the light time. That is a challenge and I hope you will forgive me for sometimes posting photos that are less than perfect. If you are interested in a particular painting I can send you a higher resolution photo through mail.

Right now I have a few finished oil paintings on canvas boards drying - will post one now and the rest tomorrow. This one is called
Blue mountain and is no 4 of my Blue Winter series
oil on preprimed artist canvas panel
24x30 cm. price: $150. Email me if you are interested in buying.
