The passion for painting ... " It has always been an advantage for me to combine the painting with my photographic interest and I always try to bring a camera for photographs of possible use for future paintings. Figure 3. “Wood anemones”. Painting on gallery canvas. 100 x 70 cm. Figure 4. “The ocean”. Garden painting 300 x 100 cm. 14 NUF-Bulletinen 1 • 2013 Figure 6. Painting made for the Tiselius library in Huddinge. The size of the painting was determined by the door frame aimed to be covered. Figure 7. The artist in action in his cellar studio in Linköping.
The passion for painting ... Figure 5. “Temple in Kyoto”. Canvas130 x 100 cm. Albeit the smell of linseed oil and turpentine provides an excellent environment for creative work I nevertheless moved from oil colours to acrylic colours during the late 80s because of the favourably shorter drying times with the latter medium, allowing me to finish the painting while the inspiration was still there. Painting with acrylic colours has subsequently been the main tool of my artistic efforts. So, from where do the painting motifs come? Usually they do not come from people around me, because that kind of models has always appeared too difficult to me. In the majority of my paintings it is some impression from nature that I have tried to interpret. So is for example the painting in Figure 2 an expression of the early morning light that can be met during walking in the forest – also a mental and life saving procedure. Another example of impressions from nature is the wood anemones in Figure 3. It has always been an advantage for me to combine the painting with my photographic interest and I always try to bring a camera for photographs of possible use for future paintings. The sea has always been an attractive source of inspiration and one example of that is the 3 x 1 m sea view that is mounted on the wall in the garden to our house in Linköping. (Figure 4). Various more or less spectacular sceneries have been collected during travelling abroad. Figure 5 shows a temple in Kyoto in Japan. What has happened to all paintings produced over the years? They have gone in different directions. Several paintings have been sold during four exhibitions held in Stockholm (2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011). A few have been sold abroad and some paintings can be found in Karolinska University hospital. One example of that is the painting in Figure 6 that can be found in the Tiselius library of the department of urology in Huddinge. But of course a substantial number of paintings can still be found in my cellar. Although my days also after my official retirement so far have been filled by professional activities of various kinds, I still hope to find the time necessary for further painting attempts.
