Title or Location: Brumbies in early morning fog
This painting came about from a road trip. I decided to go to Canberra over the long weekend and as I was driving back to Sydney, there was morning fog. The sun, when it shines through the fog, creates a lovely golden shimmer. So when I came home, I decided to recreate what I had seen. As the Brumbies are in the news right now, I thought they?d make a good addition to add interest.

Title or Location: Summer afternoon in Parsley Bay
Painting (oil on canvas, 50x40cm) of Parsley Bay on a summer afternoon. Parsley Bay is a little oasis in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, not far from where I live. Few things are as refreshing as a dip there to cool off in the summer heat. As a self taught artist who grew up in the countryside in Sweden and moved to Sydney in 2009, I?ve always been fascinated by the turquoise waters and the gold coloured sandstone cliffs. There is so much beauty around Sydney harbour to be painted!

Title or Location: Street Parade
During an unexpected trip to look after my parents after an accident, I found myself back home in the southern part of Germany end of October. It was the last few glowing autumn weeks with plenty of sunshine and wind to move trees and leaves. I had totally forgotten how beautiful and varied the colours can be, how the light can peek through the woods and how on an otherwise boring drive you can enjoy natures beauty. In this water colour painting I tried to capture this joy of colour, light and

Title or Location: Multnomah Falls
This is a 5x10 value practice using Multnomah Falls as subject. This is also the first time ever painting this iconic beauty. One can have a great subject, vibrant colors, and lots of details, but without proper values it's flat and un realistic if that's what your seeking.
