swept

softpastell/soft pastel 41x54 cm

"Det är en Klimt-kvinna" säger han. "Eller också är det två hippisar i en höstack" fortsätter han "och i vilket fall som helst förstörde du hela målningen med den där svepningen".
Ja, det är en Klimt-kvinna utan Klimt och två hippisar utan flowerpower, men mest av allt är det ändå bara jag som försöker försonas med att måla människohud på grönt papper.

"It's a Klimt-woman" he says. "Or two hippies in a haystack" he continous "and anyway, You've destroyed the painting by adding the sweeping".
Yes, it's a Klimt-woman without Klimt and two hippies without flowerpower, but most of all it's just me trying to come to terms with painting human skin on a green sheet of paper.

this little things are rune stones. the celts use them for divination. also other ethnic groups.

Must be the smallest rune stones I've ever seen! They're a little bit bigger up here - and not so pink! ;-)

i believe in things around us, that we cant see, feel or hear. i'm not ignorant, maybe crazy and brave, but i believe not in all the things, the bible tells us.
i think, i believe more in the pagan rituals ;)cos, these peoples be in line with the nature and need no bible, who tells you, what you have to believe.

i hope, you understand what i say... cos my english isn't very good :)

Dear Anni,
the warm atmosphere in your painting makes me smiling

Ya, it's kind of cute, isn't it? It was really annoying trying to create something on a green surface that wouldn't end up looking like offsprings of the Incredible Hulk , but I think I manage to avoid the worst pitfalls... ;-)

Anonym sa...

I think, cute is not the right word in my mind...
would say lovely

Anonym sa...

why too much respect? i have respect for humans not respect for a job or a confession. i hope, you know what i mean.

btw: the picture... you made it? its great. it looks a little bit like a "klimt". klimt and mucha are my favorite painters :)

Thank You! :-) I wanted to find some suitable music to go with the pastel for this post, but couldn't make my mind up. Any suggestions?

Interesting cross-blog-discussion going on here, and all because of some cute little rune stones...
:-)
Thank You! Yes, I made the painting, I finished it early this morning. I like Klimt too, but I really think the only obvious recemblance is in the colour of the female's hair... ;-)

Pagan Poetry? I'm not sure if you like Björk

Yes, I do! I like Björk very much, I love the song and I even like the original video , although I know some people consider it violent.

Thank You! Good idea. :-)

Anonym sa...

violent - because of the body piercings?

nevertheless, it's fascinating!
or should I say bewitching?

Lady of the Lake sa...

Bewitching is probably the best description, yes. :-)
You know, I actually blogged this video by Björk some time ago but deleted it because of reactions towards the piercing scenes. I have nothing against piercings - or tattoes for that matter - I've even had (and still have) a couple myself and I think it's ok to question and provoke to some extent, but personally I don't want my blogvisitors to feel too uncomfortable. Your YouTube-suggestion is provocative in a way that suits the situation much better. ;-)
