I've been kinda busy with my work of late, so much so that i haven't had time to look at a mini  This is my latest 'not so mini', it's just over a meter wide. It's a station called 'Krakkestad' in Norway, i thought Tim may appreciate this  The station is marked to be museum material in the near future so it was nice to get this painting done. It's called 'No Station For Time'  |

Wow. That's just awesome The painting have a really awesome feeling, and as I see this I really miss the norwegian snow. I remember when I was a kid (well, I'm not that old now) we used to have that much snow from november to march, but this winter I have almost not seen snow all year  I miss the snow Damn global warming!!!  I'm just speechless, amazing painting. No wonder you are an artist by profession ;D |

The snow in the foreground is incredible. You have such a talent for realism. I really have to look twice to believe these aren't photographs!

Beautiful painting mate and I do very much appreciate it. One day I will come to your country when the snow is on the ground and take a look around your railways and also your towns too.

Very impressive painting menace! When I'm a bit more flush with cash I may well commission you to paint me a picture of a white cat sitting in the snow on a snowy day!
Seriously, maybe next year a commissioned painting done by a talented geezer like yourself for my wife (of a festive, christmas nature, featuring the fat guy himself maybe) might score me some serious brownie points!

That is amazing. And very evocative...it too makes me think of my youth and all the snow we'd get.....It even has that grey winter day look. Truly well done.

I really have to look twice to believe these aren't photographs! Yeah, me too. At first I thought this was a reference photo or something. But after some looking I found out that this was actually the real painting ;D |

Do you paint people? All your work I have seen thus far is scenery. Just curious....

Thanks to you all for the kind comments, i wish all critics were like you guys! JW, i used to paint figures but i've been interested in existential philosophy combined with romantic structure and the intention is that the viewer has a first person intimate relationship with the environment, an environment loaded with pictorial metaphors to suggest existential propositions ...i think |
