New web site uploaded!

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Hi again, 

Just saw the new web site I created the template for was uploaded today! I made the template for Polona Blatnik, kennel Stars at Sea in Slovenia. The site looks really nice; there is only one problem with the background I see, so I will let them now they did an error with the CSS.

New Watercolour painting along with one in Oils

Friday, October 27th, 2006

So here they are the two cats together. It’s a beautiful Watercolor painting. The cat’s names are Tara and Tenzin, commissioned by Agi Kiss. This was one of the hardest portraits to paint ever! I got many nice emails about this painting, people telling how much they love it. Oil Painting of Border Terrier Grynna, standing at Swedish coast. Its on Gotland, I have never been there but it sure looks nice. Sweden is a beautiful country and there are many nice places to visit. Here it is: REMOVED

Now back to work…

Working and working…

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Some time ago I painted a big watercolor painting with three dogs: two Airedale terriers and Schnauzer, their names are Jenny, Nisse and Ben. I just love the outcome of this portrait and their owner just loved it! Well, she was the first client who lived so near that she could come and get the painting at my home.

I do have two more commissions coming up with watercolors, one painting with two beautiful cats and one with four dogs! I just love painting with watercolors, somehow I’m very calm when painting these. Watercolors are very much loved by Swedish people. 

I also painted a new Oil Painting for Laura in Estonia with three dogs: Dachshund, Labrador and German shepherd. Their names are Previ, Largo and Brandy. I of course love this painting and it was really hardly awaited by Laura and finally finished!

The colored Pencil Drawing with head study of the horse was finished yesterday. This drawing wasn’t commissioned work; I drew it for my online gallery. I do not have that many good colored pencil drawings to show, so I will have to draw more of them at a later stage.

Many new commissions are coming up, one of them are a female mix named Tequila. The portrait will be in Oils and I will start with that painting very soon. The owner Katja has the same name as me; it’s really fun because my name is rare here in Sweden. I also do have to finish the Border terrier standing at Swedish coast this week. I also have two huge projects coming up so I have only a few places left for Christmas commissions! I’m starting to take commissions for January with my new prices. 

It’s really fun, so much work already! Somehow I don’t understand how people find me since my page is not in Google yet. My domain is a little more then 1 year old and I’m on my way getting pr4! Well, that is just the beginning… 

Until next time…

Jack Russel Terrier done

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

I have been painting the Jack Russel terrier Scout for a day and I just love it! The photo I got from my customer wasn’t all that good but I made a really nice mock-up along with an even better watercolor portrait. Soon I will offer bigger sizes of watercolor portraits; one commission of a big one is coming up so stay tuned! I totally forgot just how fun it is to paint with watercolors, but since I started with it, I realized that something was missing in my life :) .

I have been creating my new price list for 2007, which took some time. It’s very hard to count the hours that it takes to create a painting or drawing and include the high quality with it. I also attend to have too small prices, but I have been working on that with my own mind. To price your own work is the hardest part! So here is Scout who will be on his way to his destination from tomorrow… DELETED

Best Regards…until next time
