Comedie digital and blues

 Click image to enlarge!
The 100 year old that escaped......  (Here on a draisine)

I had a hard time with Rains promt this week. Then I remembered this one. 
It is a Swedish movie based on a book. I read the book and loved it. Not the movie so much as lots of things was excluded. Things I would have loved to watch. Still, it is a fun one. 

Click the link if you want to know more about it. 


I did not think I had done much art this week. But checking my files I posted a few on IG. 
SO, I made a collage/mosaic of them. 
What you see is Fallow deer, spiderweb with a dove, floating snow discs and a snowy forest. 



Study in blue
This is the last of my larger canvases. It is 40x40 cm. I was about to keep working on it, but I like it as it is so for now I leave it. 
I still have a few small ones to paint, after that it will probably not be more of them. My walls are filled and there don´t seem to ever be any more exhibitions. The library has been closed several months now and the present Corona situation will probably keep it closed many more months. 
We can´t visit the Library, but we can order books and magazines digitally and recieve them in a safe way. That is a good thing. 

This is a small one 12x18 cm, painted with elftover acrylic colors from the Study in blue. 
I´m pretty sure Andrea will find a few faces in it.

Film Noir and abstract happening

 Click image to enlarge!
Ingrid Bergman
I might be cheating a bit for Rains promt this week when I have an image of Ingrid Bergman, the Swedish actor in many Film Noir movies. 
I remember reading once that the reason for this kind of filming was quite obvious. It was easy and cheep to film as they did not need much props, just turn the light to a minimum. And voila, magic happens. 

NatureFootstep 
My own take on Film Noir. Taken a shot of myself in a Motellroom in Yellowstone in 2017. 
My last trip abroad!


Abstract happening 1
This is created from a background, acrylic paintin A4, rather dull except from the orange color. I took it to Photoshop and added a birch photo and blended it in. 


Abstract happening 2
This is the same background as the one above. But here I went on painting. Painted the animals from stencils and more color. Still not to my liking I fetched some tools from my working days and draw the white lines and curves on it. DONE! 
Those white lines changed the look compleately!


The weather where I live is strange. It has been sunny, and no wind since the snowfall two weeks ago. The snow is still hanging on most of the trees and the forest is dotted with white snow. 
It is weird somehow.  Below is a boardwalk to a birding tower yesterday. 


Take care!

A snowy and chilly week

 Click image to enlarge!

Hi guys. Today I start with Rains TAD promt. Westerns!
You can all see this is Elvis! But what I love about this is his character in the Movie.
 It is Pacer Burton in the movie Flaming star!
I was 15 at this time and madly in love with Pacer. 
💖
       

Snowy world!
This A4 painting on CARBon A4 paper was inspired by some snowdrift I saw on a walk. Stencil and free hand painting!


Sunset!
This painting was inspred by the gorgeous sunset light two weeks ago. 
 acrylics on A4 watercolorpaper 


Panorama landscape!
This was almost too easy! I played a bit with the colors and then changed the proportions. I made the photo lower and longer. And, voila! It looks painted. 
😎

If you want to see the video I took of the sunset light I have it in my other blog, HERE

I hope every one is fine and have a great time! 
What I dislike the most when it comes to Corona is that they constantly, all day long, tells me I am very old and fragile! Pisses me off! I am 75 still going strong!
😠
Sorry about that!
