An oil painting depicting a Norwegian fjord at a farm summer day, a mountain with a glacier standing proud in the background. We can see people going about their day in their fishing boats, in the shade of some buildings, and taking a break from harvesting under a big rock.

Good Sunday! Day 8 of #artadventcalendar has me sharing my progress on my small master study of Hans Gude's "From Balestrand". Not done yet!

An oil painting in progress, with the first layer of the sky and clouds blocked in.

An oil painting in progress, the background mostly blocked in.

Some progress from today's painting session. My original idea of doing a lush valley based on Flåm in Norway prevailed! With the background mostly blocked in, next session will focus on middleground and foreground.

An oil painting of a boat in the Norwegian archipelago

It's December 2nd, and day 2 of #artadventcalendar! Throwback to April when this piece was commissioned, depicting the coast of southern Vestfold in Norway during summer. #art #oilpainting #oc #norge #norway #oljemaling #vestfold

An oil painting of a waterfall.

Calling this one done for now! Inspired by Flåm, a small area in western Norway. Flåm translates to flood, which suits this painting nicely.

In progress oil painting with a waterfall in the foreground.

Added a glacier and some snow on the background mountains, opened them up a bit, and refined the middleground as well. Today's session took longer than anticipated, but it should allow me to continue on the water and foreground tomorrow!

This one got an overhaul! The previous version kept me up all night as I was unhappy with the composition. The new version is based on Flåm in Western Norway - first layer completed!
Details will be added once dry.
