Flora. Fauna. Fungi.

I am always on the lookout for great landscape inspirations. I find them on my walks or sometimes I snap a picture from a moving train or from the passenger side of the car. I have a deep connection to my landscape paintings, all are places I have been to.

“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures” Vincent van Gogh

Painting animals is another way for me to stay connected to nature. Most of my animal painting are painted from pictures that I took or that I found in books, magazines ect.

Sometimes they are purley a result of my imagination

The kingdom of Fungi completes my connection to the natural world. I really enjoy my walks in the forest with a basket to collect different mushrooms.
