Window View I Acrylics on canvas 19x14" / 48 x 36 cm by Ebba Jahn

Window View

48 x 36 cm / 19" x 14"
Ebba Jahn, 2013

This is a view from my vacation window on the island Bornholm - soon the short garden light will turn itself on, but not yet. Most of it I painted on location, while sitting uncomfortably on a bed in that tiny room... I guess, that's why I didn't finish it. The actual Daily Paintworks Gallery "The Window Challenge" reminded me of its existence on my canvas pad, so here comes my completed contribution for the challenge.  You can see other windows
or the auction of this paintig at my Daily Paintworks Gallery.

Saying goodbye to the summer... Recently I painted this en plein air in Bornholm and it fits the weekly daily paintworks contest "grass".
The far view could be seen from a slightly higher garden point, and because another tree was cut down... that's where I sat down to enjoy / paint the scenery.
While painting I looked closely at the shadow of the right tree on the grass, but painted it not quite accordingly, more dark green was no option for my eye... that's why I can now sometimes imagine to change the format to a wide panorama view.

Fascinated by yellow lichen or alga growing on rocks at the Bornholm coast,

I expressed it freely in this small painting.

Ex-Roegeri in Bornholm I Acrylics on Canvas 14" x 14" / 36 cm x 36 cm

Ex-Roegeri in Bornholm
Acrylics on canvas
14" x 14" / 36 cm x 36 cm
Ebba Jahn, 2013

Many fisher houses with chimneys for smoking fish in Bornholm have been replaced by a few modern manufacturies - this plain air painting includes a hint towards that development. As one can see the square painting on thick cotton canvas needs a board to be mounted on, or a frame. Until then sending it carefully rolled up remains an option.
Now it goes up for auction

Raps in Bornholm

Ebba Jahn, 2013

The rape (Raps) fields were at their yellow peak in Bornholm and I had never seen anything like that before: The sun is shining upon it until the yellow starts screaming and a dark sky is happening at the same time - painting it plein air was a no brainer. Of course that brain got a little dizzy while sitting right infront of the field for some hours - now we know, that the odorous substance is poisonous, but thanks to the wind's direction it remained bearable. The painting depicts an abstract of this experience, as always are the colors of the original so much brighter...

Now up for auction at dailypaintworks

Bornholm Ceramics I Acrylics 6" x 6" / 15 cm x 15 cm

Bornholm Ceramics
Acryl on stretched canvas
6" x 6"  / 15 cm x 15 cm
Ebba Jahn, 2013

I found these in the house I stayed in: Two original ceramic pieces, hand-thrown and glazed in the old Bornholm Hjorths Fabrik which is now a ceramic museum. They still produce a variety of ceramics to show how they were done -  it keeps the small old manufactury and some artists alife - and visitors can walk through the workshops...

Bornholm Funnel & Flower I Oil on Canvas 8" x 8" / 20 cm x 20 cm

Bornholm Funnel & Flower
Oil on wooden strechers for cotton canvas
20 cm x 20 cm / 8" x 8
Ebba Jahn, 2013

This utilitarian object has its own history that speaks to the passage of time seen through fading paint, scratches and rust, and it spoke to me so this funnel in traditional scandinavian-blue became a souvenir from a trip to the beautiful Danish island Bornholm - painting this still life got me into the spirit for my recent trip there ..

Bornholm Gudhjem I Watercolor 6" x 8"/15 cm x 21 cm

Bornholm Gudhjem
Watercolor 6" x 8" / 15 cm x 21"
240 g / m2 paper
Ebba Jahn, 2013

This old fisher house has its chimney for smoking fish next to it - a former "røgeri" right at the harbour with a great view overlooking the Baltic Sea, and built high enough to be protected from stormy waters. Gudhjem is the name of the village - translated it means good home.

Ein altes Fischerhaus mit Räucherkamin daneben, direkt am Hafen von Gudhjem gelegen mit einer grossartigen Aussicht auf die Ostsee - und hoch genug gelegen, um vor stürmischen Wellen geschützt zu sein. Gudhem heißt der Ort, übersetzt  "gutes Heim / Zuhause".

Bornholm Anchor I Watercolor 5.9"x 5.9" /15 x 15 cm

Bornholm Anchor
Watercolor 5.9 " x 5.9" / 15 cm x 15 cm
watercolor paper 240 g/m2
Ebba Jahn, 2013

I was admiring this beautiful old anchor by drawing it ala plein air with watercolor pencils first and then dissolving them with ocean water. This anchor found a new permanent place in the small harbour of Gudhjem on the Danish island Bornholm, where I sat up close to it - now it's radiating by any weather like a sculpture...

Diesen schönen alten Anker würdigte ich, indem ich ihn vorort mit Aquarellstiften zeichnete und sie danach mit Seewasser auflöste.  Er hat einen neuen Standort in dem kleinen Hafen von Gudhjem auf der dänsichen Insel Bornholm gefunden, wo ich nah dran sitzen konnte -  nun strahlt er bei jedem Wetter wie eine Skulptur...
