Saturday 24th October 2015

I have just finished a new painting, this one is a regular one painted on canvas. This one is called United in Love and you can see it it a larger format in the Couple-gallery.

Thursday 1.October 2015

I have painted a lot on papyrus lately, – as the demand is high. I have also made a lot of drawings and paintings on commission, – some of these I am not allowed to publish here until a set date. Others I have agreed to not publish publicly at all.
The sheer amount of commissions lately have led to me constantly be working on 2-4 pictures at any one time, – both paintings and drawings.
Here you can see my most recent paintings on papyrus, – both of these are still for sale. To the left you can see “Unconditional Love II” and to the right “Time for Reflection”
As usual you will find the paintings in their galleries if you would like to see them in a larger format.

I am currently working on one painting on canvas, one on papyrus and one drawing. The papyrus and drawing are both commissioned pieces.
In addition to this I am preparing for my pumpkin carving workshop here at my art studio and planning towards the Christmas Fairs, – so there’s plenty to do!

Wednesday 22.July 2015

Unfortunately I have some bad news:
Tomorrow I should have been on a plane to London, – with 15 of my paintings. As I SHOULD have been taking part in Europe’s largest art fair this weekend. I have been looking forward to this for a long time now.
Unfortunately I am ill, usually that would never stop me. I have been at plenty of art fairs and private views while being ill, – like having a fever etc. As in this line of work “The show must go on” – it is as simple as that.
But this time I am so ill that the doctors are not allowing me to travel.
So to all of you who I have personally invited to the Parallax Art Fair in London, – I have to disappoint you.
Neither my art or I myself will be there.
I feel upset, sad and annoyed about all of this, – but there is really nothing I can do, except to stay in bed, get better. And hope for another opportunity at a later date.

Sunday 28.June 2015
Yesterday was the opening og the Summer Exhibition 2015 here at my art art studio.

This is the first time I have tried arranging an art exhibition, I have never tried running a gallery. So I really appreciate that not only did high quality artists agree to drive across the country, exhibit here, and be present for the opening. But in addition, so many people showed up for the opening. It was really jam packed a lot of the time!
Some people drove for 4 hours just to get here, it really means a lot for me to get this sort of response.

Unfortunately I didn’t have time to take a lot of photos, as I was so busy being a hostess and helping customers. But here are a few.
Don’t forget that the exhibition will hang untill Sunday 12th July

Thursday 18th June 2015

I just finished this painting here last night. I have called it “Through the Looking-Glass”, and it is 36×72 cm
You can see it in a larger format in the Emotions and Feelings-gallery

Next week I will be starting to hang all the pictures for the very first group show here at my art studio.
This exhibition will show the art of Yvonne Jeanette Karlsen and Rolf Øidvin in addition to my own art.
The dates are 27.June-12.July.
Opening times are 12-18 every day. Except from 8. and 9.July when it will be closed

Wednesday 6th May 2015

After a lot of work and a great deal of frustration my new and improved web site is finally in pace! I do hope you take a few minutes to browse through it.
One of the biggest changes is the new web shop which makes shopping and paying for my merchandise a great deal easier, you can now pay with PayPal. In addition the web shop lets you see how much I have in stock of every item.

Everything has been through minor changes, but the main layout is still very similar. I do believe the entire web site is more user friendly now. It also has a new responsive design, which means it works equally well on iPads and mobile phones, which is a major improvement!

The galleries are still here, and on the Norwegian version you can also find my blog.
If you find anything that is wrong, or doesn’t work please do tell me so I can get it sorted! 🙂

And at the end, – here’s my most recent painting, this one can be found in the Nudes gallery. It is called “Letting Go” and is 54x70cm

Thursday 16.April

I have just finished another two pastel drawings, here they are:

Summer Love 12×31 cm without frame	Glow of Love 23×33 cm without frame

Both of these are in the hands and Feet-gallery if you wish to see them in a larger format

Sunday 12.April 2015

On saturday I was one of many with a stall at the Market day in kristiansund. It turned out to be a great day, with lots og people and even nice weather!
I have also expanded the collection of Inga Art cards, from 4 to 12 motifs, – these arrived from the printers in time for the Market Day, and sold better than ever expected.

My online order form here is in the process of changing to a web shop, so the new cads are not there yet. But hopefully all of that should be sorted within a week or so.

So if you wish to order any of the new cards before then please e-mail me, and i will sort it out for you!

here you can see the entire collection of Inga-cards. The cards are in A5 size and comes with envelopes. the price is 40Nkr,- per card. below: photos from the Market day in Kristiansund Saturday 11th April 2015

Thursday 9th April 2015

There’s a high level of activity here at my art studio these days. I have just finished another oil painting on canvas and to on papyrus.

A quick update on what’s happening

I have an exhibition at Valsøytunet ni Valsøyfjord 16.May-17.July,
I will be participating at Galleri Gavens Summer Market in Trondheim 13.-14.June,
at the Summer exhibition here at Dalalåven Atelier in Rindal 27.June-17.July,
and at The International Art festival in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil 3.-26.July,
As you can see I need enough art work to divide between 4 different locations this spring and summer, – so I just have to work as much as possible the next months!

Here are the new paintings

My Heart’s Desire	Music in My Ears
You & Me

All three paintings can be seen in a larger format in their galleries on this web site

Wednesday 8th April 2015

believe it or not, but there’s actually 2 years since the last time I made a drawing that wasn’t commissioned, or a sketch…. It’s almost hard to believe how and why that has happened. I think one of the main reasons is the demand for papyrus paintings, – which has taken a lot of time.
Over the easter holidays I once again got my drawing stuff out, and here’s the result, – 3 brand new pastel drawings.

Awake But Dreaming	Floating
Writing

As always, if you would like to see these in a bigger format, click youe way into the gallery section and you will find them there.

Monday 6th April 2015

Thursday 19th March 2015

I have just returned from inspiring, exciting, creative, intense and hard working days in Trysil as a member of the National Art Jury for “Drømmestipendet” – The Dream Grant.
I feel it is a great honour to be a member of this jury, and can safely say that we have a lot of talented young people in this country. I feel lucky to get the opportunity to be a part of giving out one million Norwegian kroner to talented young people.

The leader of the jury this year was the retired dancer Ketil Gudim, and the winners of “Drømmstipendet” will be announced in June.

On Friday 20th march you can hear me talk about the work as a member of the jury on NRK radio at 07.50.

3 weeks ago I had a film team visiting my art studio, the were there filming for 8 hours. This was a commission on behalf of “Drømmestipendet”, and the film was made public now on Tuesday

you can see it here

Saturday 14.March 2015

There is a lot going on at my art studio these days! I finnished two new paintings yesterday, one of them was painted on commission and got picked up by it’s new owners today.

it is called Golden Fields, you see it below here:

This next one is called Mutual Trust, and is for sale

You can see both of these in a larger format in their galleries

Tuesday 10th March 2015

On Sunday I leave for Trysil, where I will spend several days sitting in the Natioanl Art Jury for Drømmestipendet (“the Dream Grant”). I look forward to long and intense, but exciting days there! You can read more about it on their web site here

A small update on what’s going on:
I will be having an art exhibition at Valsøytunet in Valsøyfjord 16th May-17th July.
If you are on Facebook you can see more about that event here

Then I will be hosting the very first Group Show at my art studio; Dalalåven Atelier. I have invited two other artist to exhibit alongside me. This will be at the start of the local Cultural Week in Rindal. The opening is Saurday 27th June at 2pm, and the exhibition will hang untill 12th July.

In the middle of all this I myself will be leaving to participate at The International Art Festival in Rio de Janeiro in Brasil 3rd-26th July. Which is something I am really looking forward to!

I am feeling like I don’t actually have enough paintings for all this, so I am currently painting on both commissions and towards these exhibitions.

So most likely you will find new paintings posted here pretty soon too!

Saturday 7th March 2015

I was in Trondheim in NRK’s radio studio on Thursday. If you would like to hear the interview it is available on net-radio now.

Click and hear me here

The program is called God ettermiddag Trøndelag (Good afternoon Trøndelag)

Sunday 1.March 2015

Yesterday I participated in the so called Inspirational Bomb during the Cultural Week “Winter Noise” in Meldal.
And WHAT a day!!
At the end of the day I honsetly felt like a super star and just wanted to say “Thank you Storås, thank you, you’ve been great!” as I left the stage!
The day was truly inspirational, there was so much to see, hear and do, and it was really jam packed with people the entire day.
I had a queue of customers lining up, and sold out of several types of my merchandise.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who came, and thank you to all of the organisers. I really had a great day, and would loce to come back at some point!

You can see more about yesterday on Trollheimsporten here
and on Meldal.no here

I have also finished a new painting, it’s called “To Have and to Hold” you can find it in a larger format in the Hands and Feet gallery

Tuesday 17th February 2015

On Saturday 28th February I will be taking part in “Inspirational Bomb” during the Cultural Week “Winter Noise” in Meldal.
This day will be a day filled with art, crafts, local history, film, hair styling, quiz, – more or less everything really!
So if you are in the area, – why not come to Storås Samfunnshus Saturday 28th Feb! Opening times are 12-17.
I will bring my paintings, drawings, and various Inga-merchandise, – everything is for sale as usual.
You can see the entire program for this cultural week in Meldal here

Monday 9th February 2015

The Tv channel NRK came to visit me at my art studio the other day. The interview was broadcast this evening, and you can see it here

For the time being I am both painting on a commission and working on some paintings for the Art Festival in Rio in July.

Last week I just finished a rather more unique commission, 3 small paintings on a chil’s chair! You can see more detailed photos of the chair in the Commissions-album

4.February 2015

I have been invited to participate at The Biennial of Europian and Latin American contemporary Art at The International Art festival in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil 3.-26.july 2015.
It is a great honour to be invited, and I had absolutely no idea I would be.
I had a painting of hands that was used in a large educational campaign in schools in São Paulo in Brazil in 2013, and I believe there is a connection. The organisers have told me they are particularly interested in my paintings of hands, so I basically just have to focus on spending as much time in my art studio painting as possible from now until then. I also have a fair few commissions to finish off before then, so it doesn’t look like I’ll have time to get bored anytime soon…
In addition to this being very exciting and something I really am looking forward to I will also be supporting a good cause. The organisers are supporting the art school CASA (Centro de Assistência Social e Artística) which is in the shanty town Cidade de Deus in Rio de Janeiro. They are hoping that art can help change the lives of some of the children there, give them something to dream about, the opportunity to create and believe in a better future
You can read interviews with me about this in the newsaper Driva here and in Avisa Sør Trøndelag here

1.February 2015

Yesterday I was in Skaun holding an all day drawing workshop there, – as part of their local Winter Cultural Week.
The participants were a bunch of positive and dedicated youth who were all eager to learn, so I had a great day! They got to draw with both charcoal and various pencils. They worked with anatomy, shading and texture, – and most of them had time to try some various types of motifs
The day resulted in lots of really great drawings, so they have every reason to be proud of themselves!
Thanks to the Youth Commitee of the Winter Cultural Week 2015 for inviting me!

In March I will be having a few hectic days in Trysil as part of sitting in the art jury of The Dream Grant (Drømmestipendet)
Last year I had the honour of sitting in the art jury there for the very first time, I have now been asked to continue my work for them, so this will be my second year there.

7th December 2014

Last Thursday was the first time I had open art studio in the evening, it’s always exciting to try out these new things and see if it works or not. Quite a few people did come.

I just finished a very personal painting today. My grandfather passed away in August, – he was 98 years old. The very last time I visited him he wanted to hold my hand the entire time. I am very glad I took a photo of our hands at the time.

30.October 2014
Wow what a day yesterday ended up being!!
So many people showed up, there wasn’t room for any more, and the result was 35 pumpkin lanterns.
Several journalists also showed up, including the tv-channel TV2. The result was sent on the National Breakfast-tv show “God Morgen Norge” this morning. This is the 3rd year in a row I am on that tv-program with my pumpkin carvings. Only difference is that it was filmed at my art studio this year instead of live from tv-studio.
You can see links to articles with lots of photos from Driva and Trollheimsporten underneath the photos, naturally all links like that are also to be found under Reviews as usual.
A lot of people have already asked me if I will hold another workshop next year, and/or make it an annual tradition!
Here’s a few photos from yesterday:

One of my pumpkins, Pennywise the clown from the movie “It”	Some have started on their pumpkins, others are planning. TV2 was there for several hours and filmed
Preparations are important	Ready to start carving

27.October 2014

The big Pumpkin lantern carving day is just around the corner, I have to admit I am really excited and can hardly wait! I love carving pumpkin lanterns, so I think it is just brilliant that so many people want to come and learn this.
Here’s one I carved yesterday, just to give you an idea of what’s to come

I would like to remind you all to
-Bring an apron, to avoid getting your clothes all messy
– Remember it will ave a lot of time if you hollow out your pumkin before you arrive
– I don’t have enough pumpkin knives for everyone, so please bring a small sharp knife
– It does start at 3pm, but you’re allowed to arrive later
– When you hollow out your pumokin at home, draw a lid on top, but reme,ber that the lid will need an edge to rest on, so DO NOT cut straight down! Hold your knife in an angle towards the middle instead.

Welcome to Pumpkin carving at Inga’s art studio!

25. October 2014
I have now finished all four paintings in the series with the times of day.
Dawn, Day, Dusk and Night.
They are each 32x42cm, and are framed individually.

You can find photos of all four paintings in the album Emotions and feelings

23.October 2014

10.October 2014

Do you want to learn how to carve cool pumpkin lanterns

Some extra info:

Avoid buying a pumpkin that is partly green og very light yellow, they are not ripe, so they are very hard and difficult to carve.
carving a pumpkin lantern takes time.
Gutting the pumpkin is way more boring than carving it!
So if you have a limited amount of time, and/or the one who will be carving is of the impatient type I’d recommend gutting the pumpkin at home before you arrive!

Remember that it is way more fun to carve the pumpkin than it is to gut it!

Instructions for gutting you pumkin at home:
Draw a lid on top of your pumpkin, cut it out, remember that the lid needs an edge to rest on, so do not carve straight down! Carve at an angle.
Remove all seeds and strings, and scrape the inside of the pumpkin using an ice cream scoop or a spoon.
Pay particular attention to the wall you are going to be carving. Make sure it is no more than 3cm thick.

I do have some extra pumpkin carving knifes, but depending on how many people who show up I cannot guarantee enough equipment for everyone. So I recommend bringing a small sharp knife.

For the eager ones; The hobby shop Panduro sell pumpkin carving sets for only Nkr 39,- See here

The workshop starts at 15.00 – but you can come later, it doesn’t matter if some people arrive as others are leaving. I will be helping everybody individually, and people carve at different speeds anyway.

You pay on arrival, by cash or card

4.October 2014

Here’s my most recent paintings, 2 painted on papyrus and one on canvas.
The first one is a small papyrus painting called “New Friendship”, it’s 34x24cm.

The second one is the first painting in a series of 4. It’s called “Night” and it’s 32x42cm. I am currently painting on “Evening”, and have started on the sketches for “Day” and “Morning”.

This last one is painted on canvas, is called “Labyrinth of Thoughts” and is 63x77cm

ou can find all of these in a larger format in their respective galleries.

3.October 2014

Some of you have probably started thinking about Christmas presents already, – well for the ones of you who haven’t started buying presents quite yet;

I’ll be having a stall at the local Christmas Fair “Rindalsmessa” 8th-9th November, and at the big Christmas Fair “Orkdalsmessa” 29th-30th November.
Rindalsmessa is held here in Rindal, and Orkdalsmessa is in Orkanger. Both of these Christmas Fairs are well known for their high standards when it comes to quality and variety, – you can really do all your Christmas shopping there, – and there is so much to see!

On my stall I will have both my Inga Merchandise and my art, and hopefully my new trays and coasters will have arrived by then!
Orkdalsmessa has it’s own web site and Facebook page where you can follow all the preparations.
Here’s a photo of me from the Christmas Fair last year, I was lucky enough to get to meet Father Christmas! 🙂

23.september 2014

I just received some samples of brand new Inga-merchandise in the post today, and have to admit I was very excited when I opened the parcel!
The new merchandise are trays and coasters, and they are all made by Åry Trays AB in Sweden.
The tray is 36×28 cm and the coasters have 4 different motifs.

I am very happy to get to cooperate with Åry Trays as this is a company renowned for thei high quality products, – as an example; they make these products for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Their products are all individually hand made from single sheets of finest birch wood, with no joints, so providing a high quality finish and longevity of use. All their trays and coasters are dishwasher proof. Åry Trays are also ecologically friendly
Naturally it will take some time before I have my collection in stock, but it should all be here in about a month. As usual my merchandise can be bought by visiting me in my art studio Dalalåven Atelier. Or by using the order form here on my web site.
I hope these trays and coasters will be wrapped nicely up under lots of Christmas trees this year!

10th September 2014
As I have mentioned here earlier I currently have an art exhibition in Sweden, the final day is 12th October. All of my art is currently there, so the walls in my art studio are very empty at the moment. Due to this I will only be open upon request untill my paintings return from Sweden.
If you are interested in purchasing any of my merchandise, – like candles, calendars or cards, – please do not hesitate to contact me.
From mid-October untill Christmas my art studio will be open both some evenings mid-week and in the daytime on most weekends.

I also have some good news, the collection of Inga-candles is still growing. 5 new motifs are now being made, these will be available for sale in my studio very soon, and naturally they will also be added to the order form online here.
In total there is now 14 motifs, – and most of these are available in 2 sized.
Here’s the poster where you can see them all;

8.September 2014

There’s less than a week left till the opening of my new art studio; Dalalåven Atelier, so we’re all rushing around these days trying to make sure everything will be in place on the opening day.

Several people have asked me how long the opening will last, I am sorry I haven’t informed about this earlier, but for those of you who are unable to make it for the opening at 13.00 I will stay open untill 17.00 this Saturday.

For those of you interested in buying art you will be able to take the art works straight home with you this day. In addition I naturally have all the Inga merchandise available for sale; art candles, art calendars and art cards.

I have also rented a card terminal for the occasion

I hope to see you there, welcome!

1.August 2014

In April 2013 we started on the big project of restoring and converting my parents old barn to a new art studio for me. The barn has gone through some big changes both on the inside and on the outside. We have spent a lot of hours, long weekends and late evenings working on it. And now, 16 months later we are finally nearing the end!

Everybody is welcome, both for a look at the building and a look at my art. It will also be possible to buy both art and Inga Dalsegg merchandise on the opening day.

So make a note of the day and hopefully I will see you there!

13.April 2014

I will be presenting my art at an Artist Talk on Saturday 26th April at 1pm in Plassen in Molde.
This Artist Talk is hosted by Møre og Romsdal Art Centre.
Using my art I will take you on an emotional tour through grief, deaspair, depression, – and the battle back to life.

On 31st October 1996 my twin sister Elin, and Elin’s boyfriend Jin, was shot and killed in Ålesund. This was a life changing event for me. One half of me was gone forever and ever. I can never love anyone like I loved Elin, and no one will ever love me like Elin did.
My art saved me.
It is vital to talk about tragedy, grief and death – life is unfortunately not just comfortable and nice. I have always wanted to do what other people have described as “difficult” and “impossible” – if you use stubborness constructively it can give the energy and power to get through difficult times.
I think I can guarantee you all a powerful story and powerful pictures this Saturday

Everybody is welcome! So if you are in Molde or nearby, I hope to see you there!

So if you’re interesetd in hearing, tune in at 10.00-11.00.
On their facebook page the radio show writes:
“Everyone should have a twin! Inga was born a twin and grew up in plural. She has now lived without her twin sister Elin for many years. NRK P1, Sunday at 10am.”

The Norwegian Women’s Public Health Association in Todalen have bought a pastel drawing at my January sale. I think it’s great that one of my pictures can help contribute towards the work they do.
You can read more about this on www.todalen.no they say; “the drawing will hang in our building most of the time untill the annual Christmas-do in December, – this way people can come and see it and take raffle tickets throughout the year to win it. During the year we will also take the picture with us to various events so we can reach more people who would like to support the work of The Norwegian Women’s Public Health Association. The income from the raffle will all go towards our work locally.”
Here’s me with the picture they bought, – it’s called “Gentle Touch”

I had my annual gingerbread house baking day with friends this week. This is an annual tradition in my house, I invite some of my close friends and we have an entire day where we bake and build various creative buildings from gingerbread.
This week we were inspired by The Hobbit, – so we made a hobbit house, – on the side of it you can see Gandalf riding in on his wagon.

We think we have made Norway’s largest Christmas card!
Nathan Lediard at Lediard Foto has also this year taken photos of me for my Christmas cards, which should be on their way in the post to my customers now. We had an rather chilly outdoors photo shoot last week in -19c.

This year one of these Christmas cards will not only be sent to my art buying customers, – it is also covering an entire wall!
EB Video has printed the photo on to wallpaper, and fitted it on the wall, it is 4,5×2,8 metres!
This giant Christmas card is in the entrance of the Domus shopping centre in Surnadal, – and it will stay in place untill January.
We sincerely hope this Christmas greeting will brighten the day of all the customers and employees who will walk past it now in December.

I take commissions, and can do portraits both as oil oaintings, pastel- or pencil drawings. All you need to do is e-mail me a photo.

The prices are Nkr 300,. for the large ones and NKr 200,- for the small ones. They can be ordered directly from me, just get in touch via phone or e-mail! 🙂

I have to admit it really made me happy to see this advert on the front page of the newspaper “Avisa Sør Trøndelag” earlier this week!

On Wednesday 30th October Norwegian TV news from the channel TV2 spent the day here filming me carving a huge pumpkin.

I had my own stand selling my art calendars and art candles during Saturdays Market Day in Rindal, the sale and response went beyond my wildest expectations. So thank you very much to all of you who were there! 🙂
To top the day off Emil Gåsvand and I was awarded Rindal Bank’s Motivation Award for 2013. This totally came out of the blue, I had absolutely no idea at all, – so I was actually rendered speechless, – which doesn’t happen very often!

The jury’s statement say’s “15 years ago, the second prize winner was awarded a cultural grant from the Bank in connection with the Bank’s 125th anniversary. Since then she has evolved into a cultural personality in Rindal, both through her own art and as an art teacher for other young talents. Through her art and her many exhibitions she has made her mark both nationally and internationally.”
You can read more about the award and the entire statement from the jury in Driva’s article here. Also you can find several articles about this under Reviews

Here’s a few photos both from us receiving the award and from me on my stand at the Market Day:

I have just finished my largest papyrus paintingg so far today, it is only 43x65cm, but all my previous paintings on papyrus have been a fair bit smaller than this.

The title is “Passed the Test of Time”, and if you would like to see it in a larger size, take a look in the hands and feet gallery

10.May 2013

Today I have just finished painting my very first quadriptych!Not a word you hear very often, – I know…. It means 4 pictures in 1, – to sum it up.

The subject i was given was The 4 Seasons, – this is a commission I have worked one for some time now. Today the customer came to my art studio to view the finished piece, – he was very pleased, – and is looking forward to getting it up on his wall.

From left to right you see; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
I was given the freedom to freely choose how I wanted to “solve” and paint this theme. I chose to combine the seasons with the cycle of life.
So spring is a small child, and summer a youth. Autumn is the time for harvest and fertility, – both in nature and among living creatures. Winter is old age, – the winter of life.

You can see a larger picture and photos of all 4 individual paintings in the Commission-gallery

1st May 2013

There was a lot of visitors at the Motorcycle Show on Saturday, plenty of people stopped by my stand to watch me paint, and to buy art candles.
So many actually that I didn’t get to finish painting the motorcycle tank!
But I have spent some time in my art studio finishing it now, – and here’s the result.
You can find pictures of it in a larger format in the Commission-gallery.

Here’s a few photos from the Motorcycle Show in Rindalshuset:

Here’s a couple of photos from the opening my exhibition at Thrane Gård Galleri in Sandnes, on Saturday 20th April. This is gallery owner Stine Rosenkilde Dahl and me on the opening night.

There’s a lot happening at the moment!

I’ll have more information about this later, but here you see the 4 motifs we have chosen so far:

Over to something completely different:
Yesterday I had an mc-tank delivered here to my art studio, on a custom made stand! This is a commission from Rindal MC-club.
I will be starting to paint on this tank here in my art studio, and will have a stand at the Motorcycle-show in Rindal 27th April, where you can come and see me finish of the painting of it.

It’s always fun and exciting to try something new though!

It’s called “Breaking all Boundaries”, and you’ll find it in the emotions and feelings gallery

12th February 2013

My second painting this year is finished!
I just discovered that all of the paintings I am currently working on all have a fair bit of the colour blue on them, which is very unusual for me! Blue is not a colour I use a lot of in my art.
But I have been working a lot with symbolism in both this painting, and the other ones that are on the way, so the colour blue just came naturally somehow.

Here’s the painting, it’s called “Breaking Free”, and you can find it in the hands and feet gallery.

10th February 2013

My art exhibition with Sunndal Art Association, in Gally Barbara, opened on Thursday 7th February.

13th Desember 2012

I had a photo shoot with Nathan W. Lediard yesterday, it truly was great fun! The plan was to take Christmassy, but different, photos, which I then can use for Christmas cards to my customers.
It was cold, I have to admit that one, but we I laughed so much and had such a great time I totally forgot about the cold!
I wouldn’t recommend climbing other peoples roof without asking permission, or climbing roofs in stiletto’s though, just to mention it!
Here’s a few of the pic’s, you can see the rest in the album called “Ho Ho Ho…” on Lediard Foto’s facebook page
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas!

3rd December 2012

Last week I was followed by two photo journalists; Melisa Fajkovic and Skjalg Bøhmer Vold, as they participated in a workshop with Bombay Flying Club and Trondheim Documentary Festival.The result of this is a short documentary which was shown at Trondheim Documentary Festival Saturday 1st December.
Trollheimsporten wrote an article about this, “Photojournalistsholding workshop in Rindal” which you can read here

The documentary is also available online now, you can see the filmhere

22nd November

There’s been a fair few updates from me here lately, but that’s just how it is when there’s a lot going on!

Here’s my 2 most recent portraits, two charming boys with lots of curly hair, Magnus to the left and Jo to the right;

21st November 2012

This isn’t art related, but still, I just have to share this piece of news with you.
I love to cook, and have now had the honour of contributing to a recipe book made by Britt Grete Moen.
I organised a picnic for the author, photographer and one of my friends, and several of my picnic receipes are now in this book.

I only received the book myself yesterday, and have to say it’s a really good one; it has receipes for all level of cooking and something to tempt everyone, in addition to beautiful photos and a cool design.

So if you know anyone who understands Norwegian and like cooking, – this is a perfect Christmas present!

Here’s a few photos from my chapter in the book:

20th November 2012

As I mentioned earlier I had a stand at the Rindal Christmas Fair this year,

there was a lot of beautiful things to see and buy, all sorts of products.
On my stand I didn’t just have my art, in addition I sold special candles with my paintings printed on them. These sold a lot more than expected though, so I was sold out after only 2 hours!
Luckily there was hope for those who didn’t make it there in time, as I did take orders. So my friend in Stavanger who makes these candles are now producing as many as she can, they are all individually hand made, so it does take some time though.

Here are a few photos from the fair:

19th November 2012

There’s been a fair bit going on lately,

here’s some of my newest work. Unfortunately i cannot share all of my recent pictures with you, as some of them are commissions intended as Christmas presents. So I will have to waith with sharing them untill later.

But untill then, – here are 2 small papyrus paintings and one ordinary oil painting:

As usual you can find all of these in a larger format in their separate galleries

30.October 2012

Tomorrow morning, Wednesday 31st October, you can see me carving pumpkin lanterns on Norwegian TV. I will be on “God Morgen Norge” (Good Morning Norway” on the channel TV2, the show is on from 06.55-10.00, and I will be on and off from around 07.40-10.00.

I have been carving pumpkin lanterns for years, and i did an article for the comic book “Nemi” in 2007 where I had a step by step instruction in how to carve pumpkins. But this will be the first time where I have to think about time and work under pressure! So that’ll be pretty exciting!

So if you have the opportunity to watch tv in the mornings, turn over to TV2 tomorrow to see the result! 🙂

NRK Trøndelag made an article about my pumpkins last week, there’s plenty of photos there, you can have a look at that here

And here’s one of this years pumpkins:

24th October 2012

There’s always plenty going on for me the last couple of months before Christmas. In addition to working on commissions I am now also busy preparing a few other activities.

I am participating with some of my paintings in a Group Show with the theme “Love” in Hov Church at Sunndal 1st-29th November.

And I am having my own stand at the annual Christmas Fair in Rindal 10th-11th November. The opening hours there are:
Saturday 10th Nov: 10.00-17.00
Sunday 11th Nov: 12.00-17.00

If you’re in the area, – please drop by!

20th October 2012

My most recent painting was picked up by it’s new owner yesterday, – you can see a picture of it below here. This was a commission of the type that I really enjoy, – where I get a lot of freedom. The only thing that was decided upon in advance was the colour yellow, the atmosphere or mood of the painting, and the size. So with the rest left up to me it was also pretty exciting when the client got to see the finished result for the first time!

It has already been hung on the wall in it’s new home, and I have received excellent feedback, – which means a lot to me.

I have now started on a new commission, – of the type that I usually receive a fair few of this time of year; a portrait of two children. If you have been thinking of buying a portrait of your loved ones as a Christmas present for someone I would recommend ordering it already now, – to be sure you receive it in time. 🙂

15th October 2012

My very good friend Gunn Marit recently returned from a holiday in Egypt with a fantastic present for me, – a small roll of exclusive papyrus! 🙂 I have never before had the opportunity to try painting on that, so I found this very exciting!
I have now done some testing, playing around and experimenting with oil paint on this papyrus, and the result so far you can see below here.
You will find both of these paintings in a larger format in the Emotions and Feelings-gallery

It’s always fun to try something new, even though I did have some trouble along the way; I usually paint wet-on-wet, which I couldn’t make work here.
Luckily for me I have a few sheets left, so I’m pretty sure I’ll have more experiments to show you soon

7. September 2012

I have just finished a new pencil drawing, and once again the subject is hands! 🙂
This time it’s 2 adult hands and 4 children’s hands

This drawing is called “Family 2”

5th September 2012

Autumn has arrived, the rain is drumming against the skylight here in my art studio, and I can hear the wind howling around the corners of my house. At least I don’t get tempted to leave my studio to go outside and do something! Instead I am spending my time indoors, planning new motifs, painting and drinking copiuous amounts of tea. Autumn storms aren’t so bad when you can be all cozy and warm indoors 🙂
Here’s my most recent painting, it’s called “Leaning in”

23rd August 2012

Here’s my most recent painting, a portrait painted on commission.

The majority of the portrait commissions I get are for drawings, – both pencil and pastel, – so it’s always nice to get a painting once in a while as a bit of variation 🙂

Ingvald:

You’ll find this in the portrait gallery if you want to see it in a larger format

11th August 2012

I have totally forgotten to share with you how the art auction went. I was both one of the organisers and one of the many artists who donated a piece of art for this event. So I was a bit nervous as to the result of all this.

The auction went better than I’d dared hope for, – a lot of people showed up, and the bidding got really exciting and intense at times. In total the art auction collected around Nkr 40 000,- for the museum.
You can see more photos and read more about it all at Trollheimsporten here

Auctioneer Oddbjørn Heggem and me during the art auction at Igjltjønna in Rindal;

9th August 2012

Occasionally one needs a present for a big occasion for someone special.
I was recently invited to the wedding of a dear childhood friend of mine. I very rarely give paintings as a present, but once in a while there’s these special somebodies that you really care about, and want to do something extra for.
So I gave this painting as a wedding present for Thor-Martin and Tommy;

27th July 2012

On Saturday 4th August at 14.00 there’s an art auction at Igltjønna in Rindal. I am one of 12 artists who have donated a piece of art for this auction. The money raised will go to Rindal Museum.

Bildene finner dere i større format rundt omkring i sine respektive gallerier 🙂

Plenty of people came and attended the opening of my art exhibition at Hardanger Cultural Gallery (Hardanger Kulturgalleri), and I truly had a wonderful weekend there.

2.March 2012

Today I have been to Orkdal College and held a lecture about me and my art for the students there who has a subject called “Art and Communication”. It is always nice to be asked to do lectures like this, and since today was my second visit to that College I assume they are happy customers.

At the moment I am working towards two exhibitions which both opens in April; – I am having a solo exhibition at Rakkestad Art Association in Gallery Midstuen 14.-29.April. And I am taking part in a Group Show at Gallery Skjæveland in Jørpeland 19.April-30.May. I’ll keep you posted with more information about both of these later! 🙂

I know I have posted a lot of new drawings lately, – but I have also found time to do some painting. So here are 2 brand new paintings, – as usual you can view them in a larger size in the hands and feet-gallery and the Couples-gallery:

It is still far easier for me to draw than it is to paint after the shoulder surgery i’ve been through. So here’s another bunch of small pastel drawings. For the first time ever a few cats have managed to sneak into a few of my pictures too.

All of these pictures can be seen in larger size in the Hands and Feet and Nudes-gallery

9.February 2012

Yesterday I was in Molde to hand over my most recent painting “Livsglød” to the cancer ward at Molde Hospital. It was an emotional day, the story behind this commission is a special one, – as it was the last dying wish of a cancer patient. The tv-company NRK and the newspaper Romsdals Budstikke was there to cover this, and as with all reviews you can find their coverage under reviews here on my web site.

You can find a separate photo of just the painting in the Commissions gallery

Several of you know that I am currently on a sick leave due to surgery on my right shoulder on 23rd August. I have been contacted by a lot of people who are wondering when I’ll be back in my art studio painting, I am not quite sure of when this will be, but at least I am not strapped into a sling anymore and I have started physiotherapy. Most likely I will not be able to paint again untill after Christmas.

I was interviewed by Trollheimsporten about this on 4th October, you can see the article here;

– Ingen nye måleri før jul, men jeg kommer tilbake!

Here is a photo of a new private commission I have finished, – I have painted on an old door. The clients have then mounted the door on the wall in their bedroom. A great idea for a different type of painting if you happen to have an old door lying around! 🙂

I will be taking part in the Art Festival Galleria in Mosjøen in Norway this year, Galleria is in the period 9th-16th July.

I am really looking forward to this, Galleria calls themselves Norways longest art gallery, and this year the festival looks like it will be bigger than ever before. The famous artists Inger Sitter is one of the participants.

Galleria is more than just an art exhibition though, it is also a cultural festival with a lot of variety; conserts both indoors and outdoors, seminars, theater, performance, live graffitti painting, and a separate film festival. Last year they made the worlds longest print, and they will be trying for a new world record this year too.

I will be there myself this weekend, but my paintings will of course be there during the entire festival.

As I am bringing some of my artwork to Galleria I have made some changes to my exhibition in Surnadal. Some of the paintings that were there earlier will now be on display in Mosjøen, and I have replaced them with other paintings. So if you are not going to Galleria Art Festival you can still see some of my work in Surnadal.

My very first lithographs are now finished, after another intence, educational, exciting and fun week at the printmaking workshop “Grafikksenteret” in Oslo. I have had very long days there while working on limestone with with crayons, ink, acid, asphalt, gum arabic, turps and more. But it has been very exciting to learn a new technique, where I also have to think and work in a completely new manner compared to in drawing and painting.

You can see the result below;
