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.

This is how I imagine the cats are enjoying the remaining summer weather in Oulu. Happy Caturday!

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:

The Oulu Artist Association (Oulun taiteilijaseura 63 ry) autumn exhibition schedule is now published, and I'm happily surprised that my forest fire acrylic painting "Full on Blaze" is festured on the cover! Thank you for the honor, Oulu Artist Association!

My solo exhibition titled Roihu (Blaze) will be in October 2023 at Galleria 5 in Oulu, Finland.

Cloudy, a bit cooler, and slightly damp in Oulu, Finland, but the smells, sights, and sounds of summer are still apparent. Here are two paintings from two summers ago, from Finnish Lapland lakes.

Haroldjärvi I (Lake Harold I), oil on canvas, 35 cm x 27 cm, 2021 and

Pilvinen kesä (Cloudy Summer), oil on canvas, 65 cm x 54 cm, 2021 (Both are available at en.taiko.art/petrakaminenmoshe)

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-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. 👀

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.

The greening begins, it spreads every day,
covering ground that once just was clay;
springing from branches once naked and bare,
making the world increasingly fair.
Sprouting from darkness, brought forth by the sun,
and - at least for this year - once again, life has won.
🌱
Continuation of my poem about ‘yellowing’ on 4th April… there’s another stanza coming me thinks.

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.
