59x81cm oil on canvas board
This painting went fast, from the time I stretched it over
a particle board,to the moment I sketched it,
till the finished stroke, all within a day.


110.5x80.5cm oil on canvas
I've painted this motif several times, however this one is painted
on top of a painting that I've repainted 3 times with different images.

50x40cm. oil on canvas
This was painted on a very old canvas, an antique landscape,
perhaps worth millions. Actually it's very satisfying to cover
some of these old landscapes because of the solid layer
make a good foundation.

34.5x29.5cm oil on canvas
This is another painting that I made on a thick stretcher, about 6cm.
My son threw something sharp at it and it ripped, I patched the
back of the canvas, and it now looks a bit frankenstein- like,
making the piece better, sort of like a survivor with a scar.

107x155cm oil on canvas
Sorry about the glare on the top of the painting, I'm really bad at taking digi-shots of
my paintings, it's as if the sun shines in Denmark everytime I want to photograph
my art.I tried to be free of a solid composition, and loosen up a bit
like the small sketches, I'm still not sure I've succeeded.

18x12cm oil on masonite
A friend of mine showed me a small painting, and I was rather inspired by its size.
I usually paint on a large scale because it suits my style. At the same time
I was frustrated by the fact that I had more ideas, but my slow production couldn't
keep up with the flow of images I wanted to express. Therefore, this small
scale worked out best as oil sketches of ideas. I think I painted
over 15o of them, so this is just a taste.

169x64cm oil on canvas
I painted this motif on a small scale, and liked it so much I painted it
twice on a larger scale. One of them I sold to a collector from Germany
and the other is hanging over our sofa. I actually shot an ongoing journal of the progress,
if I find the fotos, I'll add them to the blog. Unfortunately, I've got about 3 years of fotos
that vanished in digital oblivion because of a hard disk snow crash.

33x33cm oil on canvas
I painted this on one of my custom deep frames
that measure 6cm in width.
