mixed media: dressing for outdoor

'Dressing for outdoor'
reminds me of the time when as a child you are dressed really properly, by your mother (mostly), before you are allowed to get out in the weather on the outside. I made the artwork using different drypoint needles on a copperplate, printed it by hand in a printing press, later I have handcoloured parts of the image.

Printmaking: windy day

"Windy day"
is a printmaking work on paper. I have used drypoint needle and collage technique in the printing process.

small lithography: corpus

'Corpus'
is a lithography, the background is handcoloured.

mixed media: first time mother (madonna)

"First time mother"
is a mixed media work on paper. I have printed the background by hand in a printing press, using a plate for the texture and colour as well as a drypoint needle, later the woman and the child have been handcoloured.

small painting: my father and I

When I made this small acrylic painting of a father and a child I was thinking about how important the role of the father is in a child's life, presenting a feeling of security, of being cared for and the supportive character of the father. The painting is made on a 'photocanvas', it is app. 23x27cm, the sides are a bit unevenly cut, but it would be fine for a cutting of 22x27cm. It is put up for sale at Saatchi Online gallery. www.saatchionline.com/siriskogstadberntsen

Photo: Sometimes I just start thinking

"Sometimes I just start thinking"
 is a snapshot from the television screen. It is worked with in photoshop.

drawing: nude

"Reflection"
I have started the work on a series of nude drawings.  I have used charcoal on 'greypaper'. "Reflection" is a cropped image of a woman, standing there, looking onto something, or perhaps thinking about something. It is titled 'Reflection', because it looks like she is about to decide on something important for her or is thinking about something important for her. The mood is calm, reflected. The original drawing is larger than the cropped image, you can there also see her face and legs. I will put it out for sale this autumn.
