Wherever you are – have a good one 🙂
I have recently opened an account at Etsy.com where I have several paintings listed for sale. It is now possible to purchase my paintings online and have them shipped to your door – no matter where you live! Check it out and see what is currently available for sale:
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!
A small section of a larger painting in the making. The finished piece will be 250x130cm. I am using a lot of techniques from my classical training for the dress fabrics which is a lot of fun. This is blended with modern decorative details. I love working on larger surfaces and these lovely colours really do brighten […]
I always seem to get a lot of painting done during the winter months. This winter is no exception.

I like to think it brings a little […]
I am currently studying The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting. A fascinating read and insight into the world of traditional Chinese painting. I am learning a lot and making little sketches as I go along. Here’s one from my sketchbook. Am excited to see where this journey takes me.

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!
