A WORLD OF LIGHT AND SHADOW (2011)
Acrylic on Gessoboard - 20” x 40”
I’m as surprised as the next person when some of these ideas come to me and tell me that they need to be painted, especially the ones that come in my dreams.
I don’t know where they come from, but they feel important. 1/3

ORBIS SCIENTIARUM (1997)
Acrylic on Panel - 24” x 36”
It is frequently assumed that if we try hard enough, there are no limits to our understanding of the universe. 1/4

THE END OF NATURE II (1998)
Acrylic on Canvas - 30” X 48”
The second in a series of paintings about our relationship with nature. All the figures are supported by nature, but the support is eroding and in danger of giving way completely if we don't pay attention and nurture it. Simply put, if nature falls we all fall down with it. 1/2

WAVE (1994)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48”
Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. It's also a good example of why I am reluctant to say too much about my work. Some people are frightened by it, some view it as peaceful and some are just struck by its abstract qualities. 1/2

THE DIVINING HEART (2005)
Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 24"
"Stepping stones" of ammonite fossils represent the lessons of history and are the only havens of safety for the figure in the foreground. If her journey toward the future is guided by the foundations of the past, she can reach the horizon.

Hello All! ✨
I've just moved here to greener pastures (sunny.garden - get it? 😂).
Introductions are really hard...
I'm NB, the ghost on the right of the profile photo.
This account is for photos that I've taken. Which is really just a mish-mash of nature, birds, bugs, street photography and so on - that I find on my travels around Bologna or wherever else I may end up.
I like long walks on the beach, small crunchy pickles and the dismantling of patriarchal and technofacist-oligarical systems that are used to terrorise and oppress the masses.
I'm going to shut up now.
Byyyeee ♥️

WINGING IT (2008)
Acrylic - 36" x 24"
American history is full of examples of artists who were illustrators and became recognized fine artists—Edward Hopper and Winslow Homer come to mind—but I didn’t know whether I’d be able to pull off that transition. 1/3

200.000 VÆRKER NU REGISTRERET! Med en intensiv indsats er det over de seneste år lykkedes at gøre hele museets samling søgbar, fx på https://open.smk.dk 🎉 54.000 er udstyret med foto og små 40.000 heraf er i public domain og dermed til fri brug. Et af de søgbare værker er Jens Juels ‘En Holstensk Pige’ fra 1766 – 1767 (https://open.smk.dk/artwork/image/KMS1729) som faktisk netop er ophængt på museet.
- Det er faktisk ikke “hele” samlingen, vi er stadig igang med de allersidste værker 📏

TIME AND TIDE (2009)
Oil - 24” x 18”
This painting started out to be just a morning exercise, kind of a companion idea to TIME'S PASSING. But once I added the water, I was drawn into the scene—pardon the pun—and it ended up being a finished work.

Artistic Nudity
Sensitive
A quiet green rowboat, gentle ripples, and a moment of stillness.
Where would this peaceful scene take you?

In the middle of this photo. at the very end point of this rocks is the place where almost all my photo was taken. Just wanted to show You all my escape place. To reach this place I have to walk, with all the equipment, 4 kilometres in one way. Through the rocks. But it is worth.

ISLAND (2007)
Acrylic on Panel - 30" x 40"
There is a long tradition of using the concept of “island” as a metaphor for the world as a whole, as in “This Island Earth.”
This painting—the first in a series of works employing that metaphor—began as a meditation on the necessity for humanity to explore beyond the reaches of our immediate environs in space. 1/7

PRUDENCE (1996)
Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 11”
The classical notion of Prudence is an important theme to me, as it was to the ancient Greeks. Possessing knowledge of the Past, and a desire and ability to order the Present so as to bring about a more ideal Future.

Built from layers of portrait, winter branches and birds, the image uses negative space as part of the composition.
Created for the 52 Frames theme: Negative Space.
