Cottage for sale in Varberg, Sweden

Allotment-
my second creative home-
my little cottage getaway
is
for sale.
I am moving so it has to be
done.
I am tremendously so sorry about this.
Will cry my eyeballs out
when
giving away the key to
the next fortunate
owners.
A part of my heart will
go missing.

Just wanted you to know.

After Easter Feelings

I don´t really like Eater Decorations
so I made my own ones to decorate my home with.
Here some pics from my home and things that
put me into spring mood.


I  just adore my deer clock I bought a few years back.
Makes me smile.

Eggs in middle. (my art)

Here it is still hanging...

The boy´s head. I love children...Hard not to love this little head.

A favourite corner in the flat.

 

I found a big brush that I simply stuck into some concrete...

...and added a little detail.

I collected seaweed and embedded an egg there. Safe!

I just had to go on with the egg-theme so I made a little group of eggs.

Three eggs in a row...Another idea. Keep together!

Hope you enjoyed!

Sunday thoughts

Two things on my mind...


I miss my old studio.
It was perfect for my art.

...but I will try my best without it.

Not Whine.

Just work.

And enjoy the moment.

There will always be space

somewhere for creativeness!!

Openings, mixed media.

bits and bobs

Life´s pretty busy
and as usual I am
into many different
arty projects.
As to this "busyness"
one needs to calm
down at times-
contemplate, and
ignore the fact that
next thing is around
the corner.

Relax and enjoy life!

My work at an interior shop nearby.

At work. My students and I are visiting the Art Hall.

A little exhibition with my paintings in an eco-shop out on the countryside.

I made a himmeli in plaster.

I am experimenting with fake aquatint.

I hung Silja I this Sunday

Last time when I was at Siljaline,
between Sweden and Finland,
I saw this couple, totally devoted
to each other and their dancing.
I loved watching them.
Now I am into these dancing images
and I simply
can´t stop!

Have discovered fake aqautint which
is a great technique if you don´t have
enough equipment for the real one.
One needs an air-brush compressor, ink and
white tempera paint.

I tried this technique on my collages.
I had to make a few layers of lacquer until
I got the ink to get stuck onto the canvas.
I need to refine this technique a bit more but
here you see the result from my experiments.

Finnish Tango

I´ve had a time out from the
blog life
and
it seems as loads of things are
piling up to tell about.
I don´t even know where to
begin.
So I will instead just show you
bits and pieces from my previous
exhibition which I had with the
Artist Association in the beginning
of December.

My contribution were these three
paintings and the theme for these were
simply Finnish Tango.

Up to you to make your own
interpretations. ;)

Love to all of you! Let´s tango!

Nature´s Art

Sunday contemplation.

Nature is fantastic.
The details. The colors.
The stillness.

I have had a really tough time
these last few months but still, I am
so happy for all those walks in the
woods, down the beach and just from
home to work.
There is somehow a consolidation in these
walks. Nature´s art speaks and heals.

Autumn love to all of you. <3

One of my paintings surrounded by red inferno of leaves.
Ladder. Oils on canvas. 25x120.

The lovely colors of autumn can give a colorful framing to gray days of the loss of loved ones.

The ray of light hits the details in the grass and lightens up the morning walk.

This is simply just beautiful art.

...Or nature´s way of showing drama.

 

 ...Or nature´s way of smiling at you!
