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.

Hi pamela, you just sprinkle the salt onto the wet paint and let it dry. After that you can brush it right off. It gives a cool effect! You can use both flake salt and regular salt. Thank you for commenting 🙂
