Flower Exploration 44

This is a painting that I started/painted a while ago, before I started putting flowers into vases. It was my first experimentation with putting multi flowers together. The idea behind this one is a "Pile of flowers". I liked the result, but never finished it, didn't know where to take it. It sat there a long time, until I finally took the effort to do so.

This was a little experiment with multiple flowers, containing my signature graphic flower that was inspired by an Iris flower. I might explore some more with this. It is a small painting and was a real challenge.

This one started with an almost "night sky" effect with a lot of stars. I like when I can use the contrast of flat bold brush strokes with textures.

Still painting, not as much as I would like too, but it is enough for now. I apologize for the lack of posting, I post more regular on Instagram.

This is a painting that I would usually do on a bigger scale, but I liked the challenge and I think it turned out great.

Still painting, mixed results. The thing that I lost not painting for so long is the balance between control and let go. This is a simply flower, but has a lot of details. That works for this one, but more complex compositions, I need to find the detail balance, easy to get too busy.

Well... not painting again..... am in the process of moving to a new house, packing and getting ready takes priority. This is one small paintings that I did as a way to "get back to painting" a while ago.

I guess that I have to start that process again, in our new house..... and hopefully sooner than later.

I wish you all a Happy & Creative New Year.

I can't say that I am totally into painting again, but I am satisfied with the things I have done. Large new versions, variations of earlier concepts/paintings. It is so easy that they lack the spontaneity and doesn't live up to the previous ones, but I am glad that they did.
This is a large painting with abstract flowers in a vase. It has a limited color pallette.

It has been a while... again. I was just getting back to painting again, when my life took a 180 degree turn and painting were no longer on the table.

We are soon moving, sold the our current house and bought a new one, starting from scratch again, but that is a good thing. This time we are going to plan our garden from the perspective of having 2 active Whippet dogs.

I have started painting again, mixed results, but I am going in the right direction.

This is one of my largest paintings that I have done and is a continuation of my flower abstraction concept.

This is a more complex flower exploration painting. How detailed/complex a painting become depend when I think it is done. The risk with that method is to go too far, to over work it. I think that it worked out well this time.

This is the result of my letting loose, pushing my limits, doing something else to mix things up....

This might be the last post this year, or I might squeeze one more in before New Year. This is the third painting of 3 that I did with white background, keeping it clean, direct and no margin for errors.

Every brush stroke is visible and final, no corrections. I added some more colors in this one.

This is one of my favorite paintings in my "Flower Exploration" series. It is simple, but full of details. I especially like the "wallpaper" background, it really worked well.

I am experience life at the moment, good and bad. Still painting, but I never seem to get to posting them. This is a small painting in my flower exploration series.

I have moved on from flowers in vases, at least for the moment. While I did them, I mixed things up  with other subjects and concepts. This is more of an abstract, inspired by the more traditional flower paintings. It is good to push things.

This is one of the small flower paintings. What I like about it is the simple composition and the color combination.

I know I should be posting more often, but life takes all the time right now, and painting.

This is one of my small size flower exploration paintings. I have a lot of fun with these. They are small but large enough for me to spread my wings, if you know what I mean.

I am so behind showing what I have done, but too busy painting, a blessing in disguise. This painting is the result of being inspired by what I do. I saw a detail in a painting, and wonder how it would look as a separate painting.

This is another painting in the "Flower Exploration" series. I still do landscape/tree paintings, but I will continue with these too, still think that I can take them further, have more to give.

This is one of my favorite flower paintings and I think it's partly because it came from a place where I tried new colors & went for it.

I got stuck on trees, started overthink what I was doing, trying to replicate what I did when I went with the flow and instinct. Am back on flowers again at the moment.

This is one of the large ones I did before moving to landscapes. I really like this one. Has a lovely glow.
