Bush colors

Different states of bush. Which one is more beautiful? The reality or the fantasy?

 The original:

Picture was taken at Merian Gärten in Switzerland last summer. I mostly used the Image/Adjustments in Photoshop.

Jannica and the trolly

A picture in the autumn of the statue called "Jannica och dockvagnen" by Gunnel Frieberg on Katarina Bangata, Stockholm. Someone gave her a nice hat and a plant to hold. Generous people.

It was a cloudy day, so I fixed it up with levels and vibration/saturation tools.

Cemetary

This is the cemetary I pass often on my job. It was fog outside, early spring/late winter. I got to think about my favourite movie, Return of the living dead from 1985, which happens to be the year I was born.

I didn't do much to it, just made it a bit lighter with levels. It was actually taken with my cellphone cam so that's why it's so bad quality (I have a dumbphone).

Rabbit

 Me, my sister and her boyfriend were at the Merian Gärten in south of Basel, Switzerland the other day. They had many lovely flowers, trees and some animals! This is a cute little buddy I was lucky to catch on camera. It's a rabbit mother with her rabbit children.

I only changed the curves in Photoshop slightly to correct a bit of overexposure.

Dress

For my niece's fifth birthday I bought her a dress at the shop Under at Tjärhovsgatan, Stockholm. My cousin owns the place so I could get a little discount. I think the dress is an artwork in it self.

Here is a close-up of the pattern itself. Beautiful, isn't it?

Gerald Steffe

This weekend I was at an art exhibition with Gerald Steffe. It was at Edsvik konsthall, in Sollentuna.
It was a funny coincidence that brought me there. Gerald Steffe was one of my art teachers at Långholmens Folkhögskola 5 years ago. Then it turned out that my friend is friends with him. So my friend brought me there and I got to meet Gerald again after suck long time! It was great. I really love his art. It's really inspiring. Here is one of the pieces that I depicted.

I think the creature is called "little Taurus". One of my favorites.

Amy

So this one I made about six months after Amy Winehouse passed away. It was a big shock when I read about it in the papers. I always thought she would get a grip and manifest the beauty she was. So this portrait I made with much love and sorrow, because she means so much to me.

I used organza with a little piece of sewing thread to make the butterflies. The head is a supermagnified bubble I took from Internet. The ear ring is cut out in gold and the eye lashes is cut out from colored paper. The rest is made with Tombow Dual Brush Pencils.
