  1. Here is the final #oilpainting The subject is based of a photograph from 1910, made in #Lofoten (Norway). The man in the portrait unfortunately isn't named, but he was a #cod #fisherman working in the dried codfish export. The photograph has always struck me, seeing these everyday people dragging these strange creatures out of the depths they never got to see with their own eyes. The painting is made with water-mixable oils.

  5. in landscapes unfamiliar

    In landscapes unfamiliar,
    when the destination shines in the distance,
    the path does not always reveal itself.

    There may be no signpost,
    no worn road beneath the feet,
    only hills rolling into shadow,
    fields bending under strange winds,
    and the far glimmer of something hoped for
    calling from beyond the unknown.

    But if one keeps walking,
    if one remains on the journey,
    step after uncertain step,
    with dust on the shoes
    and questions in the heart,

    the way appears.

    Not all at once,
    not as a map unfolded in the hand,
    but as a clearing between trees,
    a break in the stone,
    a small light on the water.

    And at last
    the fisherman reaches the lake,
    stands quietly at the edge
    of all he had been seeking,

    and makes his first cast.

  9. All right, after a fifth and final session I'm calling it done for now. It'll be resting for a few days, and maybe I'll discover some areas in need of a finishing touch. First portrait in oils! I'm quite happy with it :) I will make a video when I remove the yellow tape, showing a perfectly straight border, and upload it here. That is so satisfying to watch...

  13. Colorado Fall Fly

    A solitary angler stands waist-deep in the still river, dwarfed by the sweeping autumnal canopy that frames the scene in rich ochre and deep emerald. The muted red of the bridge and the granular texture of the gravel bank anchor the composition, while the water’s glassy surface transforms into a soft, painterly mirror of the woods above. This tranquil balance between human stillness and the vivid natural world evokes a quiet, meditative silence.

  18. Results after session 3 and 4. I had some trouble with the face, especially the eye, so I repainted it in session 4. Now I'm quite satisfied with the head of the fisherman, so I'm not going to touch it anymore. I need to finish the cod and work a little bit on the folds of the jacket.
