This is the stage I love. To stay with this feeling through to finish is the real challenge though... Here´s what I´m telling myself: Be brave, be brave, be brave! Nobody puts it better than Sean Scully:
"It should be something that is happening all at once, that´s inhabiting you, what you are doing and you have one way or another managed to get yourself into that space, and there´s an angel on your shoulder. That´s how you should make art. If you are plotting art and trying to make something to get something, you are not in a state of creative innocence. Your´re not making art, you are doing something else." - Sean Scully Commissioned portraits are always exciting, intriguing and hard...It´s such a challenge to capture somebody's loved one, while still keeping it loose and dynamic. It is also important for me that I stay true to myself throughout the process and not get too obsessed with nailing the likeness of my subject. Such a balancing act...and for me it is a test in patience and focus. I just finished a pretty large oil of two beautiful little girls - sisters. It is not yet delivered, which I why I´m not showing the full picture, and I can´t wait for their mom and dad to see it! I feel that I managed to capture the liveliness and cute personalities of both of them, and finally in the end - they started to "come through the canvas". That´s when a painting is done :) I will upload the full picture after X-mas, when it´s been unwrapped and hung at the Linde´s house! Merry X-mas everyone!
Inte säkert att den här hinner torka i tid inför helgen i Malmö...men den är KLAR. Ateljén är upp o ner, ALLA penslarna är smutsiga och jag är duktigt trött i ögonen. Dags nu att vila upp mig och ladda för mässan på Luftkastellet! ___________________________________ Not sure if this one will dry in time for this weekend in Malmö...but it´s DONE. My studio is a mess, ALL my brushes are all dirty and my eyes are crazy tired. Time to get some rest and get ready for the big event at Luftkastellet!
Under fredagskvällen till sena natten gästade jag årests Bluesfestival i Kristianstad med pennor, papper o färg i högsta hugg. Först ut var ANNA-KARIN BLUES STOMPERS och musikerna bjöd på, förutom fin musik, härligt yviga personligheter...I like. Anna-Karin Pettersson, trummor, Sir Jay Åsling sångl/gitarr, Sven Erik ”Svempa”Lundekvist: Piano, Micke Elofsson på elbas (7 år med Peps Persson) & Mattias Malm på Slidegitarr/cigarrlåda. (bilden vänster) Kul! Det var uppvärmningen:) 8 timmar, 4 band och 25 bilder senare gick sista bandet PONTUS SNIBB´S RYTH´M & BLUES REVUE av scenen kl 01:30. Lite smådöv och dödstrött konstaterar jag idag att jag är nöjd med kvällens skörd av bilder och tackar både publiken och arrangörerna med Åsa Olsson i spetsen för ett fantastiskt bemötande. Tack! Bilderna finns nu på i galleriet för den som är nyfiken! ________________________________________________________________ On friday night I did a guest appearance at the annual blues festival in Kristianstad. All my tools sharpened and ready to go! First band up was ANNA-KARIN BLUES STOMPERS and the musicians delivered a great show with good music and colorful personalities. I like! Anna-Karin Pettersson, trummor, Sir Jay Åsling sångl/gitarr, Sven Erik ”Svempa”Lundekvist: Piano, Micke Elofsson på elbas (7 år med Peps Persson) & Mattias Malm på Slidegitarr/cigarrlåda. (picture above) Good times! This was the warm up:) 8 hours, 4 bands and 25 paintings later; the last band PONTUS SNIBB´S RYTH´M & BLUES REVUE finished their awesome two sets at 01:30. Looking at the work today I feel pleased with the sketches, even though I am a bit deaf and exchausted...the things we do;) I want to thank the audience and the staff, headed by Åsa Olsson, for your great support in cheering me on! The work can be seen and purchased at the gallery. |
