Any art lovers out there?
Way back in 2006, during the World cup, we had our floors re-sanded. Not being a big soccer fan, or even an artist for that matter, I put down some water colours. I had taken a day off from work ( for the floors ), nursing a bad hangover, I came up with this painting. At the time, I had no goal, or inspiration, just wasting time. The painting sat for about 8 years till my wife told me to hang it up, so I went to go buy a frame, and up it went. Looking at it now, it almost looks like a player with his arms up in the air.... Just thought I'd share.

That painting reminds me of Edvard Munchs painting "The Scream"

I dabble in painting now and then. This one is 40" x 30" oil on canvas.

Your death section features some very deep content. The Ferrari F40 also looks amazing! I have seen your work in the past, I completely forgot how talented you are, I'm sorry I have such short term memory. Thanks for showing this again!MelvinsArmy wrote:Thanks guys, you can see more of my work on my website: http://www.sjobakken.com
