Zoo Visitor



I love to visit zoo's. The better the enviroments and enclosures for the animals, the greater it is too walk around. I enjoy looking and photographing all the different kinds of animals.
The painting above "Eyes of the Wilderness" III, is based on photos I took at Ree-park in Denmark.

Here's some tips for our zoo visits:

New prints



New prints at my Imagekind-shop (most interesting for customers outside of Europe).

These images in a contemporary style, looks great as canvasprint wrapped on a frame. A unique style for great artwork in your home.

I hope to be able to offer this type of wall-art for European customers - I am currently trying to find possibilities ;)

Friesian horse


I really am amazed of the beauty of friesian horses. I love their beautiful appearance and colors, and wonderful manes!

The reference photo, I took at an agricultural market several years ago. I took photos of many of the different horses there, but friesian is one of my top-favorites.

I had several ideas what to do, but eventually decided for a loose watercolorpainting.
I painted on 640 gsm Saunderswaterford. I love heavy wc-paper, as the lighter ones, despite brand, often "curls" too much for me. The painting is 35,5 x 63 cm.

Placement designs at Spreadshirt






I have a small selection of t-shirts with my designs, but even more placementdesigns, to be placed on products of your own choise. Spreadshirt has many products to buy.

Here are some examples of motifs in my shop, but even more are for sale on the Marketplace at spreadshirt, which means, they will appear when using searchwords, when you want to place an illustration on a product ;)

Bamboo Colors - close up


In connection with my last post, showing "Bamboo Colors" I here present a close-up.

That is to show something I love about watercolors. The "accidential" flow of colors. I write accidential in quotations marks, as you can, of cause, use them purposely.

I think it adds very interesting areas in the painting. Even I write you can use this effect purposely, some of the charm for the painter is, that you cannot really predict how it will look!

Some of the result is seen in this close-up :)

Bamboo Colors





"Bamboo colors" is my latest watercolor painting.
I am deeply fascinated by plants. I love flowers, but green plants, leaves, roots, seeds etc.
are just as interesting to me.
Bamboo is one of my favorite plants / grasses in the garden. And I love the impressive, large bamboo I can see on a visit to a Rainforest Zoo in my area.
As my "Banana Fantasia" motif "Bamboo Colors" is a mix of realism and expression. There are lots of colors in the plants when you look closely. I've used the colors I see quite freely.
