My recent portraits and a few earlier ones…
It has been brought to my attention by several people that I haven’t posted here for a while. I accept this, it’s true! I have however been posting my updates on Instgram pretty much daily, so if you’ve also been bitten by the Instagram bug – find me there! My biggest news is that I […]

The following recent portraits are inspired by the great Art deco artist and designer, Jean Dunand.
Most of my paintings are currently on exhibition at the Danish National Television Studio (TV 2) in Odense. Here’s a b/w photograph of me in between two of my large women portraits. The one on my left is Her Majesty Queen Margrethe of Denmark. The exhibition will run until after Easter.
As soon as I saw this gorgeous yellow dress Claire wears in the TV show Outlander I knew I had to paint it! I just love how the yellow hues and luscious green background communicate with each other.
A couple of photographs for @Artwork_in_Studio. It may be bleak outside but it’s a festival of colours in my studio!

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!
