July paintings

JULY is a period when the weather conditions are perfect for making paintings at my balcony. Not too much wind and not too hot in my corner where the easel are located.

 The first painting is an imagination of a small island along the Norwegian coast where people spend their holidays. I called it The summer island.

 The next painting is a detail from the island but just a snapshot taken from the car window called From the car window.

 The wild flowers close to the coastline are very  beautiful
Here I have used a painting knife to make the colours express the Northern light in the fields of flower

The same technique I have used in the above painting. Because the rain is coming before you notice, the dark shade is all over the painting, although the yellow grass remind me that the return of the sun is just around the corner.
