Stop painting, it is good enough

Todays painting is in many ways very interesting. It is a result of an idea coming out of a photo posted on FaceBook by a friend, inspired by the colours used in landscapes by an English painter, but mostly by a phrase given by a young female painter student. She told me that the important point when working, is to put a stop to the use of colours when feeling satisfied.

The image which started the creative process was Bente´s photo

The Alps of Sunnmøre

Could I do anything but using her image as a motiv for a painting?

Paintings from the beginning of August 2015

My own corner of the veranda where the easel, paint, paintbrushes and glasses with water makes the basis of my works on canvas. Lately I have been very active out there although the climate  is not the best in this summer. But as long as it is not too much rain, not too hot and not too cold, I am satisfied.

 This landscape is 51 x 54 and ready for anyone at 1800 NOK

This panting is an imitation of another image I found on the net. To steal from quality images has always been accepted in the history of art, and as long I can document that it is my own work and carries my signatur I hope the copyleft is acceptable. 74 x 50 and a coming gift to a family member.
