TULIPS

Acrylics on Canvas - 80 x 60 x 2 cm

This is the latest painting in the Theme of Tulips.
Flowers bring joy and harmony to a room and give a good atmosphere.

You can increase the feeling of harmony by repeating the colours from the painting into pillows, furniture etc.
That´s a good trick from interior designers. It works!

Classic Flower Still Life

Blue/Violet/White Flowers

by Aase Lind 

Acrylics on Canvas

50 x 50 x 2 cm

Frequently, I return to painting classic still life from nature, like gardens & flowers.

I use different styles, because I think, experiments are good for development. 

Why flowers? - Flowers are a luxury for many and a MUST for others - like me!

The beauty of flowers brings joy to us and a painting with flowers gives harmony and a pleasant atmosphere to any room. 

Repeating the colours from the painting in room-decoration ensure a good result in our homes.

2016 - Happy New Year 
         - a new year full of expectations.

Some of us have plans for vacations and my family and I are going to England again, again ...
We love to revisit this lovely country and explore places, unknown to us.

Last year I painted this from the English countryside
in the Cottswolds:

TULIPS 2

It´s near to the shortest day

and the daylight-hours are very short in Scandinavia.

No wonder, we are dreaming of spring, 

light and bright colours

and it brings joy to work with these spring-themes.

Here is TULIPS no 2 in impressionistic style

and pastel shades of colours:

Memories from Italy

Memories from Italy

by Aase Lind

From a visit to Italy some years ago I returned with all the lovely warm colors in my memory.

Funny, how traveling gives new inspiration to use other shades of colors

"August: American Artist Appreciation Month"

An American tradition, unknown to me, living in Scandinavia. 

It came to my knowledge by Marietta Gregg, Marketing-director at Patience Brewster, wellknown for their lovely Christmas-ornaments etc. Patience Brewster is a good example of a creative artist. Se her blog here.

In Scandinavia, we have no traditions for showing much interest in the artists behind the artworks.

But actually, it´s interesting to know what´s doing the trick: 

- What´s making some people try to express themselves in painting, sculpture, ceramics, music, etc.?

- Why do children paint, draw? - And why do most of them stop as they grow up?

- Why do some carry on, devoting their time and energy to creating?

These are only some questions and it would be interesting to hear the opinion of artists.

 My own story: 

- As a child, my favorite play was drawing and painting from the early years.

My lovely grandmother always made sure, that I had the best tools, paintings and paper and they were very expensive in my childhood. At my 10th year, she gave me a correspondance-course, without telling about my age. That was my first art-lessons. - How lucky to have some people believing in you!

My best memories about Art were visits to the museums in London as a young girl. I could spend hours just looking at Turner and all the other great artists!

Still, the best moments for me are seeing a piece of art, which gives me a "kick"! - It might be an unusually combination of colours, which is talking to me! 

Colours are my best friends. I never get tired of experimenting with new combinations. Here are a few of my paintings in my favorite blue:

Tuscany   

     

                       Öresund II

Blue/White/Black

More paintings: www.aaselind.net

The first important thing happened to me, when the EU-committee invited me to an international celebration of the Year of Art, taking place in Budapest, Hungary. Then followed exhibitions in London, Bologna, Italy and of course frequently in my native country Denmark.

The second important thing was to see the possibilities of the internet, connecting people without limits.

It´s a great joy for me to be able to send my paintings to collectors worldwide. It makes me so grateful, when a person finds pleasure in my work.

Favorite themes: Environments are important to all of us and, frequently, I return to this theme:

  

Civilization vs. Nature                                   Village in Greenland                     Icebergs in Greenland

Flowers: 

Another favorite theme of mine. The beauty of flowers are so exquisite and a real challenge for painters and I frequently return to painting them, because it makes me happy. Flowers-paintings are often

not regarded as ART. In my opinion it´s a motive in it´s own right, because it gives so much pleasure.

Nothing wrong with being decorative! - Here are a few of my paintings:

             Flowers in Red

                                  

                                        Flowers in Violet                                           Flowers in Blue/White

At last, but not least, I do think artists have a mission in our modern world!

Artisst are trying to make people reflect on problems in gazing at artwork.

Here is one of my own favorite paintings, which has had many comments: 

                                                        EXODUS  by Aase Lind     

I´m so very fortunate in living in a peaceful part of the world!

This was the story behind my work.

I hope, others artists will tell us their story!

Environment ...

Remember to take care of our environment ...

This was the idea behind this painting,

Summer in Denmark

The summer is a short season in my country, but now it´s here and I tried to catch the very special light in this picture, a fantasy from the summers remembered from my childhood:

TROPICAL GARDEN

by Aase Lind

I love the warm and vibrant colors of the Southern Hemisphere and I return to them frequently. 

Here is a fantasy, I hope you will enjoy:

THEME JUNGLE

Jungle no 1

by Aase Lind 

Acrylics on Canvas

80x80x2cm

I enjoy painting with other shades of colors than usually. 

It´s a pleasure "to go green".

Usually, my palette contains bluish colors but in Theme Jungle it´s more fruity.

Theme Jungle is a fantasy from the Southern Hemisphere with hot temperature, vibrance  and shades in colors. Living in Scandinavia, you are very influenced by cool shades of blue and grey, so the warm shades of the South make a welcome change for artists.

Autumn in Denmark

After a perfect summer the weather in Scandinavia is now turning into autumn and the colors are changing too. I am preparing for an exhibition in the area of Limfjorden - a beautiful part of North Jutland. Here is my version in a helicopter-perspective:

Flowers are a luxury for some

LATE NIGHT - LAST BUS ...

After a break I took up painting again and here is the result:

LATE NIGHT - LAST BUS ... by Aase Lind

I used Heavy Acrylics on Canvas, few colours of Phatalo Blue (red shade),Cromium yellow (light shade) and just a few spots of orange and light blue.

As underpainting I often use a thin violet, still visible at some places in the foreground and the horizont.

I hope, you can feel the the stillness in the city by night: No trafic, just a few late walkers.
