[3] Aadnes served as an apprentice when Eggert Munch painted the altarpiece in the church in Fluberg.

In this work, Aadnes depicted silk-clad upper-class people frolicking in castles and parks.

The Tomle building is nonetheless of particular interest because it features the typical trees and fantasy landscapes that Aadnes was known for.

Notable details include a suitor placing his hand high on his lover's bodice while her chaperon sleeps, and also a little boy peeking under the skirts of a lady on a swing.

Ragnvald Einbu and Anne Karina Giske have launched a major effort to record and photograph Aadnes's works in eastern Norway, Valdres, Hadeland, and Ringerike.

Aadnes consistently used the same shades of blue and depicted carefully cultivated trees, clearly developed over time, and nobility.
