The Lake

The lake Drawing on paper by Jill Ostergren

One of those times where I was sitting and just could not stop. I find that the moment in my inner mind presented this scene for me.

It is a rare picture of when I finish a drawing, usually it is when I start a painting that I use these sketches as research.

Thank you once again for stopping by and have a great day!

In 2015 a lot of painting was finished and this is one of them. 

Landscape paintings has been a passion of mine and I find that in oil, it is a classic motive for me.

My artistic journey, is a study, a emotional journey to express the intensity of nature.

One of my fascination is the night and painting night scenery.

Blue Wings

 Blue wings.  A mixed media painted on Multi media paper.

A time when I felt that I need to try and find inspiration from within and eager to express myself.

I feel that the blue phases that i get, is of course a inspiration from a era of Picasso, but still it felt like a nice flow. 

As a artist in my journey , I found that finding my space, finding my voice within and finding a channel to speak with colors.

Please enjoy!

Blacky A crows presence

                                  Blacky a study of crows. Pastels on multi media paper.

In a period of taking a break from art school ,I found myself fascinated over the amount of crows flying around the complex that I was living in. Here in Toronto, I don't get much a chance to hear the crows, only outside downtown, there would be a opportunity to admire them.

The impressions of wings and the spirit of the calls had me hit my drawing pad and I love the result.

Cubism dreams Black cubes

\\

This is a drawing that I made in 2015. Pastel on multimedia paper. This was made with a intention of following my inspiration of the movement of cubism.

Some of the cubism from Picasso are truely inspirational for me. In my 20's I was very ignorant and had no clue about Art History. I followed the main stream of Dali, Picasso, Da Vinci, Monet. All the mayor painters that inspired generations, had inspired me as well. 

I needed a break from my art classes. I needed a moment  of flow that could give me inspiration. 

I just let the lines speak to me and this is the final result
