In the last couple months running up to an exhibition, I feel the need to paint. A lot. To make sure I have enough paintings in case I suddenly hate a few I previously accepted, and need spares. It's been alternating forest fire paintings and tree paintings for a while now. These details are from two acrylic tree compositions.

The Oulu University botanical garden is nearby, and the pyramid greenhouses are a favourite of the kids. I used photographs from inside a greenhouse looking out (to the rest of the garden) to paint this composition:

Seeing the larkspur blooming really tall, in a spot that I didn't deliberately plant any, reminded me of the painting I made in 2015. Maybe just a tad abstracted.

As I've been working on abstracted wildfire and Lapland landscape paintings I've also been using the same shapes and colour palettes to create a fabric design series. The series is titled Ruska, the Finnish word for the fall colour change.

The series has six variations, and they are available on digitally all-over-printed bags at kaminenmosher.com/store/bags. Introductory 10% discount until July 25, 2023; use discount code RUSKA0723.

As-yet-unnamed recent wildfire painting, acrylic on canvas, 100 cm x 80 cm, 2023. It is one of many that I've been working (and will work) on for my upcoming exhibition in October, in Oulu, Finland.

More details (and shadows) of two acrylic fire paintings, works-in-progress. I'm collecting a library of images of the various shadows cast on the paintings in the late evening light, while I contemplate on whether to use the shadows and in what medium.

Details from a recently completed forest fire painting. I've got an October solo exhibition deadline - I hope the Finnish summer doesn't distract me too much. There is a moderate warning. đź‘€

Three small acrylic-on-canvas fire paintings, studies, really. Approx. sizes around 41 cm x 33 cm. Feels like fire season never ends in some parts of the world.

First layers on some small canvases in those moments while I wait for a larger canvas to dry. Fire paintings, all of them.

New beginning on a more absorbant (and rough) gesso ground, acrylic work in progress.

The snow is finally retreating from the onslaught of an amazingly long stretch of sunny weather - I'm looking forward to seeing actual dirt and what green will emerge first. We don't have tulips in the garden, but crocuses are expected.

for a week with ups and downs, creatively. I suspect I painted a canvas into the metaphorical ground. But this one looks good in the sunlight. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

I'm enjoying the sunshine and plant shadows on my paintings, though it makes me wonder if I should try a bit of compositional experimenation.

Sitting back and grabbing a drink after a full work day in the studio. Portrait in oils yesterday, new abstracted acrylic today.

Me and the kids are complaining that the air temperature is still freezing, but we're roasting in our winter coats in the spring sunshine.

First tree painting finished for 2023. I'm trying to broaden my brush stroke repertoire - the unexpected reaction of the first layer of acrylic paint on the primer helped add some spontaneity to the trees.
