Horse pacing Painting

I am a landscape architect, geographer and GIS specialist by proffesion and education. Nordland County, in Northern Norway where I live, inspires me hugely every single day. Here dynamic lights and colours create ever-changing contrasts. The impulse to draw and paint (especially watercolours) comes “naturally” from many hours I use for outdoor life (nature photographing). My entire workflow: from moving in time and space (with camera and sketchbook) and developing of ideas (concept sketches) to later painting process at home; is like the inner reaction to the Nature and encountered People. I like to visually immerse in-depth, and may be entirely “taken” by this process for hours. One must also learn anew to "see" things (composition, story-telling, framing the moment to fit later canvass, colours-contrasts-shadows-textures etc.) all around us. I found that during creation of art I may achieve more spirituallity and better life balance.
