This little watercolour was painted at the end of the day, during my recent three week sailing holiday. ⛵️

Evening in the archipelago
Archipelago -
Another lovely memory from my sailing holiday.
There was no wind, just bright sunshine and an artist trying to capture the moment.
The outer archipelago. -
One of the better watercolours from my sailing holiday.
The weather was stunning for 2 whole weeks, or was it more? I think this painting communicates the fact that we were sailing in the outer archipelago, and it was 25 degrees, with no wind at the time.

Crazy sunset and nasty vegetation
I was out sailing in the outer archipelago. Three weeks, it was heaven. The watercolour of the sailing boats was painted in Finnhamn. It was a beautiful sunset, but the painting was a failure, technically speaking. I like it anyway, it speaks to me.
The wild vegetation was painted on Bullerö. We moored in a small natural harbour on the north of the island. It was very difficult to pass through the low trees and wire like shrub. The purpose of the watercolour was to capture the unfriendly bushes and trees.

Painting watercolours in the rain
A quick watercolour sketch from inside my boat. It was raining, so it was nice to have a roof over my head. I had my mini palette with six colours.

Buffalo in Stockholm
About a month ago, I took myself to Hemmesta, a small town outside Stockholm. There is a rewilding project that I find very interesting. They are recreating wetland with the help of Buffaloes. I think the idea is fantastic. Wildlife is already establishing itself, lots and lots of birds.
I aim to paint here later, I’d say in September. Right now, my focus is the archipelago.

Painting at the museum once more
It was bad weather again yesterday. Actually, it was really, really windy. This was the first time I painted together with Annika Berglund, my new plein air painting buddy! We were at the Natural History Museum, one of my favourite haunts when the weather isn’t great.
