"Mystère"

This summer I went to the US. One of the cities I visited there was Las Vegas and as much as I hated it, watching Cirque du Soleil's show "Mystère" was one of the top 3 things I enjoyed doing there the most. I was never inspired more by anything in my entire life. It was a great show; a two hour long piece of art with awesome music. I downloaded the tracks and listened to them while painting this, which was magical, because it almost brought me back there. I started the painting on September 27th and was done with everything except that figure in the forderground. But because school takes up most of my time I was only able to get it done yesterday.

Wall paintings

I haven't even held a paint brush in my hand since April and today it was finally time to do it. My friend, Mona Sophie, and I painted on her bedroom wall. Again! This is the second time we do.
The first time (which was last year) we painted a peacock and today we painted something a little more abstract next to her book shelf.

Electra

It's been a while since I last painted! It sucks, but anyway, I got this painting done last week; once again very early in the morning before everyone woke up. It's just magical painting while watching the sun rise.
I named this painting Electra after this amazing eight year old girl I met in Siwa last month. And I know you'll probably never read this, Electra Henrik, but thank you so much, I owe you a lot for being such a great inspiration to me.
Oh and this is finally my very first "purplish gold" painting!

"Beauty in a Bubble"

I do not remember when I started painting this, but it was about two months ago, I guess. I had painted the background back then and yesterday I finally finished all the rest. It sucks how long it sometimes takes me to finish a painting.
This is the first painting I ever varnished. And spray varnishing is actually harder than I thought it would be, I think I'll try varnishing with a brush next time.
Oh and I put the title "Beauty in a Bubble" between quotation marks on purpose, because I'm not the one who came up with the name; it was a friend of mine who did.
(Details: 30cm×40cm acrylic paint and spray paint on canvas)

Absent-minded Smile

This is my first mixed media painting (if I may call it that). I used PVA adhesive, crushed dried flower petals and acrylics. It's the second biggest painting I did so far (30×100cm). It was painted on Saturday December 28th 2013 and is therefore the last one I painted that year.

Random Sketch

I did most of this sketch while talking on the phone. I hate talking on the phone and this was really the only thing to keep me occupied.
I hope I will get some paintings and sketches done by the end of the month. I painted on December 28th, but still didn't take -what I call- "the good photo" of the painting. Hopefully I will soon.
Happy new year, ciao.

Untitled

I painted this on October 6th, I remember nothing about this day, except that it was awful. I'd like to keep the painting untitled, I guess it's better this way, I hate naming things anyway, it's too big of a responsibility for me.

This 50×70cm acrylic on canvas painting is now hanging in my friend's room.
