This is a painting a did a couple of years ago.
My daughter liked it so much,
so I made her a replica.
It now hangs on her wall.

I particularly like the heavy frame
together with the fragile motive of the painting.

My back yard is full of white dreams
They speak of warm winds and long summer nights
Promises of a sweeter season

Have a great weekend!

I teach two painting classes regularly;
tuesday morning and tuesday night

The tuesday morning class is learning portrait painting right now.

We started by drawing the face
using a grid, as you can see from the photo.

This week we painted the face in one color
- a so called grisaille underpainting.

Next week we'll learn how to mix colors for the face.
Then the true challenge begins!

This photo of me was taken by one of my students.

I think it's a good idea with the frame,
and I like the light + the coat they asked me to wear.

Thought I'd show you a photo from my messy home studio, which I love very much. Right now I'm in the process of rearranging it, to make it suit my needs better. I hope I'll have some nice photos of the result to show you later.

I've been working on a stamp with my initial to use on prints. 

Originally I thought I would make a rectangular stamp,
in the japanese fashion,
but then some ideas took me in another direction 
and I ended up sketching a round stamp
with a more art nouveau inspiration. 
I like it a lot,
but we'll see.
Maybe I'll end up with two stamps?

Spring is my favorite time of the year.

I love it so much when nature comes to life again
and the harsh, norwegian winter recedes. 
It's such a delight to walk in the garden
and watch the tender, young plants 
stretch towards the light.

All the beautiful buds and sprouts make for inviting motives, and a quick sketch can be a great delight.

One fine day I crossed paths with this beautiful fella. I guess he's happy about spring too.

I like to play around with flowers,
arrange them in different settings,
and see how I can use the happy accidents that occur in an artistic way.

A job meeting can be so many things.
It can for instance take place in beautiful surroundings like these.
The beauty around us
- I believe it affects us more than we tend to think.

I really love block printing. I like the possibilities it gives, I enjoy the manual effort involved in engraving the plate and I love the printing process. 

Here is a new print coming on - this time I'm working on an art nouveau inspired flower theme.
