“Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” triptych, 24×48” charcoal and pastel on Mylar Based on the Beatles tune of the same title. “I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.” This ended up a much more difficult project than expected and was on the easel for a full month. It’s the next in the ongoing White Album series. I used three photos of my daughter for the work, cropped and manipulated in the computer until I found the composition I liked. I decided to do a triptych because I liked all three photos and thought they looked well together. I took the photos 2 years ago in the cemetery down the block from our home. My model was fascinated by a fallen mature oak, and was sitting on the trunk in the second view photo. She chose the clothing for the shoot, but I changed the t-shirt design to work with the theme for my piece, which is bird extinction. The triptych is charcoal on a heavy weight mylar drafting film, and was worked on the frosted side. There is a backing of Canson pastel paper in moonstone (a pink gray) because the translucent paper needs some backing, and white was too stark for the effect I was attempting to achieve. There are small touches of “white charcoal” – white pastel pencil for highlights, I also used a gray pastel pencil in some of the tree areas. The mylar is a very slick surface and fun to work on, and has more of a sensation of painting because of the “oiliness” of the charcoal on the mylar. Delicate areas are quite difficult to achieve. If you rub your finger over a fairly lightly covered area, the paper wipes clean, so soft gradations are troublesome. You can build up dark layers of charcoal and lighten it to gray by rubbing with your fingers, or erase back down to the surface with a kneaded eraser. I purposely left much of the work rough because the surface works so well for that. The finished work has a very interesting glow in person that doesn’t photograph well. The frosted finish is quite lovely – almost like human skin in sheen. Framed as a triptych, custom frame by my husband Steve White.

These three enormous bronze swords stand monument to the battle of Hafrsfjord in the year 872, when Harald Hårfagre (Fairheaded Harald) united Norway into one kingdom. The monument was designed by Fritz Røed (1928 – 2002) from Bryne, just south of Stavanger. It was unveiled by Norway’s King Olav in 1983. The swords, which are about 10 meters tall, stand for peace and unification. One sword is larger than the others. This was Fairheaded Harald’s sword. The swords are planted in solid rock – representing peace. The swords can be found at Møllebukta which is a bay area on the southern shore of Hafrsfjord.

9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original available. The attractive Norwegian Fjord, with its pronounced dorsal stripe and zebra-barred legs, is closest in appearance to the primitive Mongolian or Asian Wild Horse (Przewalski’s Horse) from which it descends. Since Viking times, it has been traditional to cut the coarse mane so that it is erect, the central black hair standing above the rest. / BREEDING Descended from Przewalski’s Horse, the Fjord also has more than a suggestion of Tarpan influence. This horse of the Vikings was taken in longboats to Scotland’s Western Isles and to Iceland. Bred throughout Scandinavia, but principally in Norway, the Fjord is exported to Germany, Denmark, and central European countries where its qualities of endurance and hardiness are highly valued. / CHARACTERISTS The powerful, compact Norwegian Fjord is a versatile animal. It takes the place of the tractor on mountain farms, it will plow and carry pack loads over steep tracks, and it is as good under saddle as in harness. It is economical to keep and courageous, but has a will of it’s own. (information from Eyewitness Handbooks – Horses) Complete 2006

Norway, the most beautiful country in the world – or so I personally think. Endlessly inspiring, every view mesmerising, I love it. I have tried to emphasise the ever-present tranquility by focusing on this pile of stones, quite a common site in western norway incidentaly. / I hope you like it!

The walls are newly painted and the studio awaits the installation of the “newly minted” units which will take place tommorow…I can’t wait…I have a few paintings still hidden in the “Empty Studio” series and this one of flowers was created in the ink wash-off technique, that you saw in a few of the others…it is difficult to end up with detailed work in this style of painting, as the results are unpredictable, but that is the beauty of it…many times it ends up looking like a wood cut... see others in the series below Ink on Arches Paper Different flowers look good to different people / Pick the flower when it is ready to be picked. / The flower that you spent time to care for does not grow while the willow / that your accidentally planted flourishes and gives shade.

Nothing left or almost nothing in The empty Studio, but I have posted quite a few other works, which I am holding back while the installation is going on, and when I can’t paint at all, so there still will be something for you to see..it just occurred to me that these posts are a lot like a blog…hmm…the girl is the same as in “Darling It’s You”...she is now evoking my idea of the meaning of the song “Norwegian Wood”, embodying the spirit of the lyrics…the girl in the song is mysterious….the lyrics subject to many different interpretations.. / This is the first time I have tried this technique which I made up on the spot today…I’m in love with it and hope I remember what I did next time.... Enjoy the song…link below Inks on Arches Paper I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me… / She showed me her room, isn’t it good Norwegian wood? / She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere, / So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair. / I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine, / We talked until two and then she said: “It’s time for bed” / She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. / I told her I didn’t, and crawled off to sleep in the bath / And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown / So I lit a fire, isn’t it good Norwegian wood.

Well the Empty Studio is still pretty empty, so I decided to continue adding new works to the series…my ink supplyis running low, but guess what, I have a huge art supply store right at the end of my street, so I can always buy more…actually I am really enjoying working with limited media…it takes me right back to when I used to invent all sorts of techniques…this one is newly minted today. Ink on Arches Paper Think about who you are today…are you whole, or do you see yourself as broken into little pieces…are you the one behind the confessional, or are you the listener?. If I cannot forgive myself / For all the blunders / That I have made / Over the years, / Then how can I proceed? / How can I ever / Dream perfection-dreams? / Move, I must, forward. / Fly, I must, upward. / Dive, I must, inward, / To be once more / What I truly am / And shall forever remain..Sri Chinmoy.

I had very little time today, as the final installation in the Empty Studio is getting really close and I am busy getting the room ready…...but I had to stop to paint, and I did this moolit scene with fountain pen inks and Mean Streak…it was an experience, as MS is invisible and you can’t see what you are doing, but I love the final result which is loose and free Moonlight bends over the black silence, / Making it bloom to wild-flowers of sound / That only green things can hear. / A wind sprawls over an orchard, / Frightening its silent litany to sound. / A thread of star-light has fallen to this tree / And curls among its leaves, tangling them to silence. . . . / Standing amidst these things, Beloved, / We feel the words our hearts cannot form......Maxwell Bodenheim

A sketch from the archives, painted today…provenance unknown, but perfect for the Empty Studio series, as it’s simple and understated... Sepia Inks on Industrial Paper. Behind the golden western hills / The sun goes down, a founder’d bark, / Only a mighty sadness fills / The silence of the dark. / O twilight sad with wistful eyes, / Restore in ruth again to me / The shadow of the peace that lies / Beyond the purple sea. / The sun of my great joy goes down, / Against the paling heights afar, / Gleams out like some glad angel’s crown, / A yellow evening star; / The glory from the western hills / Falls fading, spark on spark, / Only a mighty sadness fills / The spaces of the dark. George Charles Whitney
