Picture "Baltic Sea / Tranderup Strand/ Ærø" (2010)
I painted this picture on a cloudy day in October on the Danish island of Ærø in the Baltic Sea. In the foreground, the autumn vegetation is already colored ochre and brown. A few scabiosa blossoms glow in vibrant purple, while the middle ground is dominated by the lively green of a meadow on the cliffs. The Baltic Sea appears in shades of gray, with a conspicuous area of Naples yellow in which isolated rays of sunlight break through the gray-blue clouds. There, some sunbeams hit the water through the gray-blue clouds in a restrained manner. I have captured the light impressionistically. My brushstroke is impasto and dynamic. The support for the painting is a self-covered canvas, primed four times and suspended with a steel cable. The painted edges allow this work of art to be presented without a frame. The picture can be hung without framing.
