An Art Work A Day

Today when I got home from work the sun was wodnerful and I just had to spend as much time outdoor as I possibly could, and since I am part of the challenge daily painter I also needed to find time today for that.

Sitting outside having a break after work, reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali's novel " My Life, my freedom" ,which I by the way hightly recommend, I noticed that the first irises and yellow day lillies had started to bloom. naturally I went off and got my camera and took lots and lots of reference photos.

While I went around with the camera one of my cats started to follow me around "jentepus" meaning girlykitty or similar.

I then quickly got some acrylics paint, my waxy tablecloth to protect the table and just started.

While this happened my cat relaxed in the grass and watched me, probably wondering what I was doing.

And this is the result on a 18x24cm canvas panel board.

And now I better get back to grading end of term papers in Norwegian. Summerhug from Trine enjoying every scrap of sun she can get as you have seen

Many places in the countryside have a museumlike minipark where they put very old farm buildings. Those old faded textures, shapes and wooden materials have inspired this abstract.

Of course I have much to learn before these kind of painting are as I want them to be but I find it an Ok start. I will try to post more of the traditions and symbolisms connected with these kinds of paintings during the coming week. All are approximately 25x30 cm on shuen paper.

I promised you yesterday that I would show some of the results. Today I took lots and lots of snapshots of a real bamboo plant when Hanne (my daughter) and I went out to eat at a chinese restaurant today after her exam. I am no too happy with those leaves so I guess I will practice practice and practice doing them untill I am fairly satisfied.
