FLOWERS in Lilac no 3

The latest of the paintings from a Scandinavian Garden

FLOWERS in LILAC no 3
Acrylic on Canvas, 30 x 3 0 x 2 cm


It is a pleasure for me to notice, that my Flower-paintings mostly are sold to the UK and Australia.
There is a tradition for Flower-painting in these countries and I love to paint flowers in a semi-abstract way.

LAURITS TUXEN at SKAGEN MUSEUM THIS SUMMER 2014

Pay a Visit to Skagen Museum this summer 2014:

The famous Danish painter Laurits Tuxen is on exhibition again with several important paintings from private collections. Laurits Tuxen (9 December 1853 – 21 November 1927) was a Danish painter and sculptor specialising in figure painting. He was also associated with the Skagen Painters. He was the first head of Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler, an art school established in the 1880s to provide an alternative to the education offered by the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He first visited Skagen in 1870, returning on several occasions. In the 1880s and 1890s, he travelled widely painting portraits for Europe’s royal families including Christian IX of Denmark, Queen Victoria and the Russian royalty. In 1901, after the death of his first wife Ursule de Baisieux from Belgium, he married the Norwegian Frederikke Treschow and shortly afterwards purchased Madam Bendsen’s house in Skagen in the north of Jutland, converting it into a stately summer residence.[2] In 1914 he made a study trip to Greece to paint the entry of George I of Greece into Salonika, for the Christian castle. He made lively and well-characterized portraits, among them his self-portrait in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and portraits of P. S. Krøyer, in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. He also made portraits in sculpture, including a portrait group of Krøyer and Michael Ancher.Tuxen went on to paint a number of landscapes in and around Skagen, but also completed a number of paintings of his family, friends and garden flowers.This painting “Man rejser sig fra bordet” owned by John. E.Oden, New York,is on show. This is a sensation, because works by Laurits Tuxen are not allowed to exportation and must stay in Denmark. The American owner has got a permission specially to keep the painting, bought at an auction from a person, who illegaly had sent the painting out of Denmark for auction sale.Det amerikanskejede - og omdiskuterede - "Man rejser sig fra bordet", som Laurits Tuxen malede i 1906, kan ses på udstillingen
Laurits Tuxen was the wellknown painter of Royal Families in Europe, Russia and Scandinavia. Here is a painting from England:

It is a joy to work with these blue/violet colors 
- they are a bit stronger on the original, though.

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.
