weekend #23 photos
“Peter Dahl considered his life as artist,
with all the conflicts and sensations that his paintings have
sometimes aroused.
This happened over a dinner in Mora in April 2011.
Peter Dahl turned to me and said with a weak smile,
“All I ever wanted to do was just to paint.”
(Johan Cederlund, director of the Zorn Museum).

I love “Solitary Guest”; it’s mesmerizing. I haven’t been studying much, just noticing I guess.
Mäkin kuulen nyt eka kertaa tuosta taiteilijasta ja tykkään.
Very nice artwork there.
—-love the paintings! Thank you for sharing.
What am I studying? Always something to do w/ words or writing….
I enjoyed looking at Peter Dahl’s work. Thank you for sharing it.
I also am interested in seeing your completed sketch ~ I haven’t taken art lessons in a long time. But Ralph and I do belong to an arts council.
Please check out my first blog post dedicated to it:

I’ve been resting my brain this week. No studies. May be tomorro…. 😉
Lovely pictures! Peter Dahl seems to be a very talented painter.
Greetings from Romania! 🙂
Love the style of these paintings. I used to “paint” with crayons 🙂 I am very eager to see your finished sketch, BLOGitse!
Have a wonderful week!
Thank you for the Sunday art lesson – Just Wonderful
I have not been studying. That’s part of the problem. I have some legal matters and financial planning matters that need my attention, but first I need to do a bit of research on those topics.
Beautiful, vivid artwork. Wonderful use of color. I really like ‘Dance in Blue’ too.
great paintings and shadows. nice job on the drawing!!! i studied the lesson of patience!! study that way to much sometimes…have a great week!!!!
My favorite is “Dance in Blue”
Wow I am impressed, I can’t draw at all.

Lovely paintings!
Shadow Shots post. Have a great weekend.
Heippa,
Nothing much for my part. I just been digging myself on my job. Lots of problems to solve. FInnish clients are complicated to deal with §;-) not french nor Swiss either. Giving me a headache… LOL
Peter Dahl is so famous, of course…
Happy Sunday, Helsinki and enjoy the rest of the day.

As soon as I saw the red headed king of the tavern figure, I thought of the self-portrait image of Van Gogh! Such a similar “look”! Another rebel painting to his own music! Lovely series of photos!
I think I like the one with the golden skirt best. But, they’re all super.

Hope you’re having a glorious, wonderful weekend so far.
Nice series – I especially liked the red paintings 🙂
OOOH! Fascinating colors and compositions to look at.
Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve studied art, but I’ve enjoyed my “class” today, very much, thank you! It’s also been a long time since my last life drawing class…my FAVORITE! Enjoy 🙂
I especially love “My Grandmother’s House”. It has such a nice feeling to it.
Very evocative paintings, some of them are-as in, I wonder what the story is behind this? Kind of thing.
Love your life study-I think the human body is the hardest thing to draw.
What have I studied this week? The relationship between public art and economic development.
Thank you for taking us on a tour of these painting with you! Will we get to see your work when it’s completed, too? 🙂
The artist leaves each view by giving us his idea of the scene while leaving the details a bit confusing to allow us to further interpret the view. Cool it is, the King of the tavern is in charge, or is it the lady instead? I enjoy trying to interpret the complex mind of the artist 🙂
Great shots for the day. Interesting paintings and some great shadow shots as well!! Enjoy your weekend!

What have I studied lately? Spanish–in Mexico! Just completed a week’s worth of lessons.
