Peter Dahl’s paintings

weekend #23 photos
“Peter Dahl considered his life as artist,
with all the conflicts and sensations that his paintings have
sometimes aroused.
This happened over a dinner in Mora in April 2011.
Peter Dahl turned to me and said with a weak smile,
“All I ever wanted to do was just to paint.”
(Johan Cederlund, director of the Zorn Museum).
Proud Town and Other Tales – Peter Dahl at Tarvaspää

The artist leaves each view by giving us his idea of the scene while leaving the details a bit confusing to allow us to further interpret the view. Cool it is, the King of the tavern is in charge, or is it the lady instead? I enjoy trying to interpret the complex mind of the artist

Thank you for taking us on a tour of these painting with you! Will we get to see your work when it’s completed, too?

I especially love “My Grandmother’s House”. It has such a nice feeling to it.
Very evocative paintings, some of them are-as in, I wonder what the story is behind this? Kind of thing.
Love your life study-I think the human body is the hardest thing to draw.
What have I studied this week? The relationship between public art and economic development.

I think I like the one with the golden skirt best. But, they’re all super.
My SHADOW SHOT link.
Hope you’re having a glorious, wonderful weekend so far.
As soon as I saw the red headed king of the tavern figure, I thought of the self-portrait image of Van Gogh! Such a similar “look”! Another rebel painting to his own music! Lovely series of photos!

Heippa,
Nothing much for my part. I just been digging myself on my job. Lots of problems to solve. FInnish clients are complicated to deal with §;-) not french nor Swiss either. Giving me a headache… LOL
Peter Dahl is so famous, of course…
Happy Sunday, Helsinki and enjoy the rest of the day.

I have not been studying. That’s part of the problem. I have some legal matters and financial planning matters that need my attention, but first I need to do a bit of research on those topics.
Thank you for the Sunday art lesson – Just Wonderful
