Hello again!

 I haven't used this page for years as you can see ... 5 years have gone by.

What have I been up too?

Art wise I've created a lot of art ... tons to be correct 😉

I'm still doing a lot of mandalas.

Last year I became a grandmother to twin girls, now almost a year old. They have got a lot of attention, so I've been knitting for them.

Then I found a perfect lifestyle for me to loose a lot of weight at the end of November 2019. Till this day I've lost 27 kilos, and just took one months relaxing and probably eating to much fat, but now I'm back on track.

I've had fun creating a small series of fun figures ... The Pulle-Mullers.

Over the years I've tried so many different styles artistically. I've through the years made a series of our beloved deers in the beach garden. Every year there's a new generation. This year was the first time we got to see a tiny newborn fawn, so tiny.

Here are some of the paintings I've made through the years

Hope you enjoy seeing some of my work in here again!

If you are interested in buying any of it, just contact me on social media.

I'm on Facebook  with ojasgallery  and on Instagram named OlyJa.

Hope to be back soon ❤

HEARTS, SUN, AND FLOWERS

ETERNAL LOVE MANDALA

Size Medium

Costs 20 US $

Love is meant to be shared. So if you give a lot of love, you will experience a lot of love in your life. Love is the essence of life, sometimes we forget because of what happens in our lives. Often we have to transform the pain before we can feel and see it. Love is eternal means that the love you share will always be here. That's how people will remember you, when you are gone. That love the can share with others and so on...

YOUR MANTRA

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

"Take care of your heart in any possible way. Let love be your mantra!"

As adults we have to learn how to open our hearts in order to love ourselves and others. The word love can be used as a mantra, you use when you meditate, it can be an affirmation you say to yourself, it can be written on a piece of paper, wood, pebble etc. to remind you how important the essence of love is to you. You can even make a ceremony to acknowledge how important it is to you, and how much you want to share that love with the world.

A BRIGHT STAR

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

"Let your heart shine like a bright star!"

Remember you are loved by this universe. Sometimes you might wonder, if it is true. But you always get what you radiates. You might carry around a lot of old stuff in your unconscious mind, that needs being cleared out first, before you can feel that love. Today there are so many ways to do that, you have to find your own way. I used a lot of therapy to do that ... but today there are so many other ways of dong it. Then you can radiate the same light as a bright star.

SHINING LIKE A STAR

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

GLOW OF SUNSET

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

" The glow of a sunset is such a miracle, and then the stars come out and dance ..."

The Glow Mandala reminds us of being true to ourselves.Glowing is all about finding peace with ourselves and our past. Finding the love in everything we have learned growing up ... and then we automatically radiate that love.

THE PURPLE WATER LILY

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

"Life is precious. Enjoy every moment of beauty that you discover! It might silently ask you to slow down to dwell on it. What a gift that would be."

Don't you enjoy stopping and admiring a flower? It really radiates pure beauty. It's beauty transcends from its essence. The essence that we all are a part of. So flowers essentially tell us of our own essence, it point us in that direction.

"FLOWER ESSENCE"

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

"Flowers are pure beings. They show us their essence which attracts us."

As already said, the pure essence of flowers opens up to a consciousness beyond our daily lives. We have to be still and just breathe to experience that essence. Just look at the flowers, they are never busy, they just ARE. Often we forget to just be in our daily lives, we are so busy doing stuff that we forget to just pause, take a deep breath, relax and just be in that moment and nothing else.

JUST BLOOMING

Acrylic on paper

Medium size

20 US $

"A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it. It just blooms"

Another reminder from the flowers of how important it is, sometimes just to take a deep breath and let go of anything else. We are not here to please others, we are here to find our own path through life. So do what feels right in your heart!

Selling my art

Hello again!

I'll start selling my art after working with drawing and painting for the last 3 years, especially this last year I've worked intensively,  mostly with mandalas ... which you will see a lot of in the future...

My Inner Child

Acrylic on paper

21 x 21 cm/ 8.25" x 8.25"

Costs 20 US$/ 125 kr

I've decided only to sell originals. I find they tell so much more about the process and have so much more spirit. Don't you agree?

Over the years I have intensely done a lot of self healing work, and therefor also worked with my inner child, a term that mostly refer to your feelings, which are mostly shaped when you were a child.

All this inspired me to the picture " My inner Child". It is told that 75 % of us are growing up in a dysfunctional family, and the rest of us have repressed those memories and feelings. I don't know if that's true. What do you think?

Floral Consciousness

Acrylic on paper

21 cm/ 8.25 x 8.25"

Costs 20 US$ / 125 kr

On a happier note, I spend a lot of time in nature, my most favorite place to be. "Floral consciousness" grew out of one of these experiences. Inspired by that, I wrote a quote for that: "Nature grows in silence ... we need silence to be in touch with the inner consciousness".

Quotes - whether it's mine or someone else's - will always be on the back of the paper, along with a date of when I created the picture, and of course my signature.

The goddess of Care

Acrylic on paper

21 x 21 cm / 8.25 x 8.25"

Costs 20 US$ / 125 kr

I often get inspired by other artists, whom I might see on Facebook or Instagram. I have always found it difficult to draw faces, so as a challenge for my self, I decided to make a series of goddesses that could inspire me ... and hopefully others!

The goddess of Strength

Acrylic on paper

21 x 21 cm / 8.25 x 8.25"

Costs 20 US$ / 125 kr

5 Days of Mandala Magic

I attended Julie Gibbons Free 5 Days of Mandala Magic, which was such an outstanding experience, and opened my eyes to whole new aspects of mandala making.

I got to be creative too. Here you can see what I made back then.

 

Here I learned to use the compass to draw a lotus flower.

 

 

Then I could suddenly figure out how to make a yin-yang figure with the compass too.

 

 

We were taught how to make a hamsa figure, very popular in the Middle East.

 

This collage was started by setting our intentions for 2015.

After making Lava, I felt for trying out some shapes. I had a long brake, where I had to take care of my body.
