well... I'll join the aussie guys in this.. though not completely as much as them... the pictures look nice, though a bit too "broken up" to me... I percieve them more like "tests/studies" than "finished works"... but they look good - some interesting stuff you've got there

Painting no.3:
is called "A couple in the night"
(We had some problems removing the flash in the middle of the painting; it's supposed to be darker. Sorry... )

It's too bad about the bad photo quality, because the painting looks fascinating and intense. I'd very much like to see a better version of it.

Generally it's clear that you have a real gift for painting. And I'll definately encourage you to continue to explore and study it. You have a very personal expression in your paintings.

I'd also like to know the text on painting No. 5?

Well done!

Thank you, Frederik, for your comments refering to my paintings. It is always a joy for me to know when/if people enjoy what I create, so thank you. But you are right about the photo quality; could definately be better...

The text on painting no.5 you'll get in danish (and if anyone would like a translation - in english -, please let me know; then I'll see what I can do.... )

"O Gud velsigne disse to
som står for dine øjne
og bind dem sammen to til eet
med båndet af din kærlighed.
Giv du dem troskab mod den pagt
de indgik ved dit alter,
så kærlighed styrer deres dag,
den onde som den gode.

Og lad din kærlighed bære frugt
så de i glæde vandrer.
Hjælp dem at ta' imod med tak
de gaver fra dine hænder.
Og lad dem altid kende dig
i gudsfrygt og i glæde,
og hjælp de to i tro og håb -
at leve dig til ære."

This hymn was sung at the royal wedding between HRH Martha Louise and Ari Behn, (and as I am writing this, I am a little insecure; it could also have been at the wedding between HRH Haakon and Mette-Marit ?) and my friends who were getting married, asked me to sing the hymn in the church at their wedding, so of course it was a obvious choice to put the lyrics on my painting as well, so it really became a very personal gift, - for all of us

Actually there's a lot of symbolism in this painting; f.ex. walking through life together, choosing direction, different doors, walking up and down the stairs, the water as a symbol of life (and God)- the place to drink when we feel dry inside. And picking a motive from Venice is not a coincidence either...
