The Door

2008-04-05T03:03:00.000-07:00

My newest drawing. Pencil/ acrylic on paper. Also available as print!

-What`s hidden behind that door, will she open it?

I have had a rather stressful week, not from work but from other things that have come up. Not much sleep either...my mind has been somewhat restless...
Yesterday I got some time in peace to finish this picture though. It made me a little bit calmer.

Wish you all a nice weekend!

Pictures for the Tinlark Gallery

2008-04-03T00:05:00.000-07:00

The Cabinet (acrylic/ mixed media on canvas)

The white Chair (acrylic /mixed media on canvas)

The Lamp (acrylic on canvas)

I will show some of my paintings in the lovely Tinlark Gallery this month.
Very exciting. You must take a look at their website and have a look at all the wonderful artists represented there, I get so inspired.

I do not know you

2008-03-13T07:36:00.000-07:00

I`ve added a new print in my shop!

This picture just came to me (as pictures usually do) while I drew. I wanted to tell about a dream I once had but this ended up telling another story...Well, strange things happens while drawing.
It`s something creepy about that rabbit-person, I don`t think I like him, and I certainly don`t know who he is. Is he a friend or a demon?

Everything is just as it should be

2008-03-04T01:46:00.000-08:00

New painting finished! I`ve called it "Everything is just as it should be" and I don`t know why.

A tiny update...

2008-02-28T01:25:00.000-08:00

This is what I have inside my mind just now...I did this odd little schetch in about 10 seconds, I am not gonna use it for anything. Just wanted to show you what`s going on in my uncounciousness.

Another corny picture. I guess I somehow felt sorry for our old Christmas Tree. So alone and so naked.

The diva and the little prince

2008-02-04T04:41:00.000-08:00

This image just popped up in my head. I really enjoyed making it, placing these two odd figures together with some old-fashioned furniture. Just my style.

The faded Thought

2008-01-25T04:43:00.000-08:00

The Thought was just a shadow.
It still hurts though.

The Juggler

2008-01-18T02:08:00.000-08:00

This is a new version of my Juggler Girl and the tree white houses.
I don`t know why it turned out ochre-coloured but i ended up enjoying this goldish background...
It has a special light in it and was right for the atmosphere i was seeking.

Pencil work

2008-01-11T14:25:00.000-08:00

A little chest of drawers for you, a "kommode" as we call it here.
I like to think about what`s hidden inside the drawers...

And I have been featured on lovely Cuteable. (Thanks!)

2008-01-07T05:11:00.000-08:00

I haven`t been very creative lately, I think I just needed a break. But I wish you a happy new year 2008, and hope to update here and in my shop very soon...!

2007-12-22T11:05:00.000-08:00

The Juggler Girl and I wish you all a magical Christmas!

The Gnome

2007-12-14T03:42:00.000-08:00

Let me introduse you to the Gnome! (He is, by the way, absolutely not, in any way, related to the Santa Claus...He, the Gnome, wanted me to emphasis this so there should be no misunderstandings...)

Wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Capture of the Moon and new prints update

2007-11-30T03:08:00.000-08:00

The Balloon

I have been pencil-drawing a lot these days and came up with this little Rabbit holding a Balloon.
My immedeat thought was that he had to be placed beside a circus-tent, I don`t know why I got this idea but I knew I had to draw the tent.

This is a digital collage, and why I love this technique is obvious: I can put into the picture everything I want, and move them around as I please. This suits me because I can be very impulsive in my working progress.

And this picture turned out very interesting for me when I suddenly realised that the Balloon also could seem to be the Moon..! Has the Rabbit boy actually captured the Moon?

Me and the Balloon

I even made a print version with only the Rabbit, here he has the full attention in the picture.

Home

This is a print called "Home". It`s just were I want to be these cold and rainy days.

Prints are available in my shop.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

I want to be with you

Sudden harmony

2007-11-23T01:11:00.000-08:00

This picture is about the harmony that suddenly appeared with the first sight of snow.
You know, the beautiful silence when little snowflakes just begin to fall from the sky. It`something so very calming about it.

Prints are available in my shop .

Pencil and acrylic on cardboard.

Winter Day

2007-11-22T00:32:00.000-08:00

The first day of snow. (Acrylic and pencil)

Suddenly the snow was here, a thin white layer covering everything. And I felt really happy for a moment, everything seemed so much lighter.

The secret meeting

2007-11-19T00:55:00.000-08:00

This is about a secret meeting that took place one of these November nights,
in the pale light of a moon that was almost invisible...
What they were talking about, -if they talked at all, we never will know.

Look what sweet Meighan has written about me and my work here. Thanks! She has a delightful blog by the way. Go look!

The Rabbit

2007-11-13T00:19:00.000-08:00

She couldn`t get away from the Rabbit.

Leaves in our garden

2007-11-05T02:52:00.000-08:00

They are beautiful where they lie, why take them away..?

I must remember these colour-combinations.

New drawing and vintage-find

2007-10-31T01:55:00.000-07:00

This is my newest drawing/ painting. A Rabbit-Girl and a haunted House.
A bit scary situation it seems to be.

And now my newest vintage-find! This porcelain dog was actually speaking to me (or should I say playing the violin)! I find him iresistable, even though I normally fancy cats. He is an exception.
