It was my pleasure to present my commissioned portrait of Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark to her Majesty at Gråsten Palace. It was a private meeting with the Queen (therefore no photographs of the event) We had lovely conversation after Her Majesty had unwrapped the portrait.
Cute little watercolours
Our home Harbaeks Courtyard (Harbæksgaard) has undergone exciting major renovations these past 6 months.

Every day I consider myself fortunate that I get to do what I love! Here’s a few of photos of my progress on Elizabeth I of England portrait. I am using the Armada Portrait by George Gower as my inspiration. I have included a couple of very short videos of me painting a shadow behind a […]
There are the greats and then there are those very few above the greats like Johannes Vermeer from Holland 1632-1675. I have been fascinated with Vermeer’s work my whole life. I was a very young child when I saw my very first Vermeer painting. It was a print of ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ Years […]

I find myself using red or rose with blue a lot. It’s just a really compelling color scheme. The expressions are interesting, too.

Hi Chemire, thanks for stopping by. Yes, blue and pink make an interesting composition. I also think brown and blue works well too.

You are correct! Brown and blue tend to work well because most browns are actually to some degree a form of “dark orange” and of course I doubt I need to tell you your basic complementary colors but a lot of people don’t realize the orange-ness of brown at first. Color is really cool, honestly. Playing with color drives a lot of my painting. It seems to be important to you too to judge by your work I’ve seen so far. 🙂 Good luck and keep going!
