A Positive Sign of Spring!
Now everyone is longing for a fresh start like this in the new year.

Which I really don't believe in, the new year begins with the spring equinox.
But in any case, I wish you all a good continuation of the new year.
The idea was that I would post the Phoenix painting on CHRISTMAS EVE as a gift from Santa to all of you.
The painting has been finished for several months, but you know you want to save on the goodies.
During this great depression, I have really had my muse with me! In 2 months I have painted 17 paintings that I will soon show you all.
That was all people

Fenix rising
Ett positiv vårtecken!
Nu längtar villa alla till en nybörjan så här på det nya året. Som jag verkligen inte tror på, det nya året börjar med vårdagjämningen. Men i alla fall så änskar jag er alla en god fortsättning på det nya året.
Meningen va att jag skulle posta Fenixmålningen på JULAFTON som en gåva från Tomten till er alla.
Målningen har varit färdig i flera månader, men ni vet att man vill ju spara på godbitarna. Under den här stora depretionen har jag verkligen haft min musa med mig! På 2 månader har målat 17 målningar som jag snart ska visa er alla.
Det va allt folk
What good fortune that your muse has not abandoned you… your art is truly impressive. I am captivated by this post as a fresh start.
God, what a great line. Yes, painting has become an addiction!
👌
This phoenix turns out to be a bird of paradise with one of those fancy tail feathers. I really like the effect of digging into the paint to create the dimensional feathers on the body. Looking forward to all those paintings you made.
That's it, it's so fun when the spectator interprets, it's satisfying! Thank you
Beautiful detail in this highly energetic work. It's like a shining light clearing away the darkness.
Thank you very much dear friend! I'm thinking of your wife, you need to get her out again!
Agree 100% but the Phoenix is lovely !
Did you know? that our New Year is a fairly recent invention, before that it was the spring equinox that the Persians, for example, still celebrate, and the ASA faith still does today!
Yes it's funny that you mentioned it, my boyfriend tells me this every new year!
There are so many things that I still don't know and that I will learn because that's what I came into the world to learn, that no matter when the year starts or ends... in spring, I will keep it in mind!
Your work is wonderful representing the rebirth, of life, of stages more than of a year. The gold, the glitter, the look, the colours! Thank you for this gift! And of course I want to see all the paintings you have done. One question... how big are your paintings?
Oh thank you so much! I have adapted to a slightly smaller canvas, before I painted the 70s, 80s, 90s, I painted large paintings, which I sold or gave away. Nowadays I paint a maximum of 50X50 cm, now I almost only paint 40X40 cm. I paint on tables because I paint a lot of details and patterns. My paintings are to be hung alone on a small wall at eye level.
I have painted pictures up to two metres long and one metre high... but I had space, now I don't have it and I do what you do, I paint in 30x40 most of them although I have 40x60. Easier, isn't it? Thanks to you!

Excellent post!
I love all your art, but this one is one of my favs! Love the Phoenix and what it represents for each of us. Well done! The year of the Horse should do better for many of us now that we are out of the Snake year.
