Journey

Title: Journey

Format: 65x54cm

Technique: mixed media on board

Production year: 2006/15

The painting displays an abstract landscape in yellow, red and orange, almost gold. The colors are vibrant and at the same time toned down, there are several lines an shapes in the motive creating figures, items and stories for the viewer. The painting communicates an inner horizon and invites to personal reflection. It was made on a board in Lofoten, Norway, in 2006, I finished it recently in 2015, laying a white border onto it, shaping the story. I have used different mediums, watercolor that has been worked with so long that it has been 'etched' into the plate, then some acrylic and oil. I used a bamboo pen working on the surface of the first layer leaving lines, other tools in combination with water have come to use to create the painted 'texture' that constitutes the motive in the painting. I will make a back frame for it, if wished for, with painted sides, so that it can be hung on to the wall as it is.
