American magical realism oil painter based in Sweden.
This may be the largest painting I've made in recent years. The forest where I took the reference photos for the background has been all but leveled since then. Every time I walk past it, I think of this painting and what it looked like on that frosty afternoon ❄️🕯

I've been thinking about this painting lately, while wearing that cozy Norwegian sweater. It was all about the new year, new changes, fresh energy...
I would like to bring some of that energy back again, after a rather chaotic year (which now is coming to an end 🙏)
I hope you all receive the same

Today we are celebrating Saint Lucia here in Sweden. Though I have never painted a traditional depiction of her - I did make this back in 2022 of the lovely Ulvdottern. Hoppas ni har en fin Lucia! 🕯🕯

Disheartened this evening girl because I saw Instagram flagged a reel of this painting, saying it is sexually inappropriate and now won't show my posts to non followers.
What do you think BlueSky? Do you think this painting is inappropriate?

Snow has been falling all day here in small town Sweden. All I want to do now is curl up in front of the fireplace and "mys".

Here is a painting from 2023 called "From Within" which is still at Galleri Melefors in Linköping 💙

Here are some paintings I made during the pandemic for my "Blood, Ash and Bone" collection ❤️ Makes me miss blackberries and how much fun it was working with them during that time.

This is one of the few paintings I made this year. It is called "Guiding Light" and was meant to be a study on light and color 💙🧡

It's been over a year since I've posted on here. Seems to be gaining popularity? This is a painting I made in 2022 which is still for sale (and still one of my favorites)

Ecstatic today - after around 2 months of work I think I'm calling this one done 🙌
I've been working on this collection nearly a year now... strange to know the next painting is the last and I am no longer working within its confines. But also strange? Have a lot of ideas of what to do next 🌟

I've been sharing all my "spooky" paintings on Instagram and have been lame and not done so here!
I'll post this one then from 2015 🎃
