Welcome to my website

Art By Ole 

Art should be shared, enjoyed, inspire, and stimulate conversation

I have established this website to do just that with my artwork
.  

The website is just beginning to take shape.  There are areas that are not correctly displayed nor described.  With time, the images and descriptions will be corrected.  It is currently very basic with minimal content.  More artwork will be added as I continue to work on the site so please check back often to view the new additions.

About the Artist

Ole Nordhavn is a self-taught artist who has always been interested in art in various media: watercolors, acrylics, oils, and in the majority of his adult life, photography. He began with oil painting and in late 2015 he took up watercolor painting after attending several watercolor classes as an activity on several cruises.  Not happy with the results, but determined not to let it beat him, he took up painting in earnest, buying supplies, books, videos, and for the last nine years taking art and painting classes.

For the first three years it was working with professional artist, Richard Gunn, at the Hayward Senior Center. 

For several years pre- and post covid, Ole took weekly watercolor classes from artist Monica Satterwaite at the San Lorenzo Adult School until she recently retired.

Watercolor training has included one day seminars and painting experience with local artist Sue Farr as well as renowned watercolor artists, Michael Halter. and Tom Lynch.  

Ole has been taking online watercolor classes from renowned Ohio watercolor artist, Rick Sorowicz for the last three and a half years.

In addition to these weekly classes Ole is also participating in California artist, David Rogers ongoing workshops.

Subjects are usually scenery, wildlife, or flowers. Many of Ole's paintings are interpretations of photographs taken during his travels. His style is very color intensive, especially for watercolors.
