and the oil to make a delicate, silky surface.

The Arctic - Greenland

Today I had the pleasure 

to sell  another one of my paintings from the Arctic countries.
I find these remote places so fascinating and I return to painting them again and again. Here are some examples:

Why painting ...?

Because it brings  joy and you can forget all your troubles ... at least for an hour or more.

The first and most important step: not to be afraid of painting using your fantasy and not just being a copy-cat. 

Here is an example of my earlier work:

Lauritz Tuxen - Danish Painter

Lauritz Tuxen - Danish Painter

Laurits Tuxen (1853-1927) 

Welknown in Europe, established painter of the royalty in Denmark, England and Russia, Laurits Tuxen took part in the happy days in Skagen. Here he took over a splendid house, where he joined his friends every summer.

Lauritz Tuxen was born in Copenhagen in a rather well off family, frequented the Academy with Kröyer, the famous artist closely connected to Skagen. 

Both of them travelled a lot and studied in Paris and soon Tuxen became a welknown painter of the European royalty. Remember: King Christian 9. of Denmark and his wife, Queen Louise was in fact the parents of Queen Alexandra of England, The Zarina of Russia, a son was to become King of Greece and  a daughter married to a German Prince. 

Lauritz Tuxen married 1. Ursule de Baisieux, died 1899. They had 2 daughters.
2. Frederikke Treschow, from a welknown old Norwegian family. No children.

Lauritz Tuxen took part in the local life in Skagen and took a special interest in establishing the museum. He enjoyed his stay with his family and the famous artists parties in Skagen, so often the theme in  the beautiful paintings from this period.

The home of the Tuxen Family in Skagen

In Skagen he painted some charming paintings of his family, friends and flowers in his garden. A great contrast to his stately paintings of the royalty.

Here are some of his paintings from the garden:  
You can see, he loved his flowers and never tired of painting his garden.

Some examples from the collections at the Royal Courts:

Personally, I find most of them full of life and interesting, because he seemed to concentrate on showing the real person behind the title.

The royal families of Europe gathered in Denmark around King Christian 9. and Queen Louise .
