Looking around

There is no subject beautiful or ugly itself. All is in the mood and in the way you are able to look at it in the moment. And later in the way you can transfer that feeling to the viewer. This is what I think can be said looking at this my own painting. It […]

Under the skin of a village

I am working by some time on a new way to paint landscape, where the beauty of watercolor transparency, playing, telling losely the soul of places, not their external look, working with expression, energy, using symbolism, sometimes some abstraction, improvising.

Sketching on the Island

Small value study for a painting I’d like to be big, around 35 x 50. This is urban landscape in hilly countyside of Elba Island. The modern manmade artifacts always are something grabbing my attention and thoughts. Painting doesn’t satisfy me yet but the idea is there, I think…
