Autumn abstract paintings

A little confession…

When I was younger, I didn’t like Autumn at all because it meant that the school was about to start again and I wanted the summer to last forever.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve started to see the beauty of Autumn. I’ve started to look for beauty in the season of change. There is always something good if you only be still and pay attention. Even if the change is uncomfortable.

Autumn is a season of change.

The nature around us is changing.

You’ve probably noticed that I usually don’t work with browns but I decided to try something new and explore the possibilities.

In my previous post I showed you some of the photos of Estonian Fall. I visited some beautiful parks and was inspired to paint these 4 pieces.

Through these paintings I wanted to explore the beauty of changing nature. I want these paintings to be a reminder that even change can be beautiful.

Autumn inspiration

These past few weeks I have been working on new paintings that are inspired by all the beautiful Fall colors. I have gone on long walks in beautiful parks and wanted to share the photos. So much beauty everywhere.

Will soon share a post with all my Fall inspired paintings.

Seascape series

I finished my seascape series yesterday. It has 6 paintings and these are all made on paper. ( 9,4x13”)

I don’t think there is anything better than a Summer day spent at the beach.

Lying on the sand and listening to the sound of the waves is so soothing and calming,

Beach days are the best because all your worries disappear.

That’s what these paintings are essentially about. Expressing the beauty and depth of the sea and the feeling of freedom. Freedom from everyday worries. It’s like a meditation.

-Blissful sky-

-High tides & good times`

-Embrace magic moments-

-Waves of strength and beauty-

-Tranquility-

Which one is your favorite?

Viru bog

Few weeks ago I visited a beautiful bog in Estonia- Viru bog. It has nature trail that passes through forest. It has an observation tower which has a beautiful view.

It was so much fun to explore and learn more about all the vegetation that grows in the bog.

When I visited the bog, it was quite cloudy but it made the photos even more beautiful and special.

Let me know in the comments if I should paint a series inspired by all the beautiful colors of Viru bog.

Lilies paintings

‘Summertime magic’

Acrylic and gold leaf on paper

After I finished my Rose series, I knew that I want to do another floral inspired series. I asked my followers suggestions and Lilies were the most suggested flower.

I loved the idea.

I did some research and found many photos of beautiful Lilies in various colors.

‘Rise in love’

‘Bloom like a flower’

‘Sunshine and blooms’

‘Shine bright’

‘Always on my mind’

With these paintings I wanted to express Lilies in abstracted way using texture, lines, shapes and layers of colors. I loved working with yellows.

I hope these paintings will be an escape for you and bring you joy and beauty.

Let me know in the comments which one is your favourite and speaks to you the most?

Why I paint flowers

My love for flowers started from an early age.

My great grandmother had a well tended garden with all kinds of different beautiful flowers.

Back then I was young and found it weird that someone could spend so much time working in the garden.

Looking back I realise that it was her passion and I still remember the flowers she had in her garden.

Irises

Roses

Peonies

My second great grandmother grew roses in her garden and she sold them. It was her job. She loved flowers so much.

Seeing these women grow these pretty flowers definitely influenced me and now I have beautiful flowers in my garden.( see the photos above)

Working in the garden and taking care of the flowers fulfills me in a very deep level. It’s a meditation.

I love to observe the flowers each day and admire their beauty.

With each painting I try to show you what I see and experience when I look at these beautiful flowers in my garden. I express this all in abstract way, using texture, layers of colors and gold leaf.

I hope through my art the beauty and emotion of the flowers live on and they bring joy into someone’s home.

Rose abstract paintings

In the beginning of the Summer I knew that I wanted to create something new and I decided to paint the roses that I have in my garden.

Rose is my favorite flower and every time when I look at it, it makes me happy and reminds me some lovely times in my life.

I feel like I grew a lot as an artist when I worked on these rose paintings. It was so much fun to work with new colors.

Bring Summer vibes into your home with a beautiful rose painting.

Peony paintings

Each year I look forward the time the peonies start to bloom.

I love Peonie’s voluminous petals and subtle scent.

I have dark pink and white peonies in my garden.
This year I thought that it would be great idea to paint them.

My color palette had been the same for quite some time and I felt like I needed a change.

They were so much fun to paint. The dark pinks were so beautiful and feminine.

Both of these paintings are available in my shop.

Colors of Summer

It’s the last day of June and I thought I’d share some of the photos that I took in my garden.
I love the month of June because so many flowers and bushes begin to bloom in the garden.

Each year I take time to notice and enjoy the beauty around me.
All of the paintings that I worked on this month were inspired by flowers and trees in my garden.

I’m so grateful that there is so much beauty around me.

Each morning when I wake up and go to the balcony, I’m greeted with the bird singing and beautiful views.

I hope you had amazing month and that you were able to experience a little bit of Summer magic.
