Vingeslag fra sommerfugle - Strokes of butterfly-wings

2005 - 30x20 cm. Oil on paint-plate - 2003

Jeg arbejdede med bevægelser, farver og lys - billedet til højre var det første.

Efter flere gange undervejs at være blevet spurgt, hvad det skulle forestille, slyngede jeg ud, at det da var en sommerfugl og da de jo ikke kunne se sommerfuglen, fordi den allerede var fløjet, måtte det så være sommerfuglens vingeslag, der var tilbage!!! Logik ikke? Og jeg mente desuden, at det var en hun-sommerfugl.

Johanne insisterede så på, at der måtte være en han også, så efter 2 år blev det næste færdigt, som var vingeslagene fra en han-sommerfugl - billedet til venstre.

I was working with movements, colours and light - the picture to the right was the first.

After having been asked several times, what it was supposed to image, I blurted out, that it was a butterfly and when they couldn't see any, because it had already flown away, it had to be the strokes from the butterfly-wings, that was left behind!!! Logic isn't it? And furthermore I meant it was from a female butterfly.

My daughter insisted, there had to be a male too, so after nearly 2 years, the next picture was ready, with the strokes from a male-butterfly's wings - picture at the left.
