Is it possible to paint plein air, indoors?
Yesterday, the weather was so bad in Stockholm. Wet and 13 degrees. I arranged with my friend Daniel Luther to meet at the Natural History Museum. We go there often during the winter, but this was the first time we visited during the summer. I painted a stuffed Woodland Kingfisher. I enjoyed myself. Oh yeah, it was the premiere for my new easel that I built just recently. I’ll talk more about that in the next post.

This year’s first plein air
Oh, it was so nice last Wednesday. The sun was shining and it was above freezing. Actually, it reached 12 degrees. Amazing!
I spent the day at my good friend’s summer house near Trosa. It lies south east of Stockholm. I painted two watercolour sketches, both of them I was pretty happy with. Later we had lunch in Trosa. A very enjoyable day. And to top it all off, I went to life drawing in the evening.

Painting the mundane
I am relatively happy with this painting. Not technically, no, more that I was able to find something beautiful when there was no real beauty available. I try to be better at finding interesting compositions wherever I am. One just has to look around where one is standing, and if you have patience something beautiful will appear to you. Most of the time! 😉

I was invited to Poland
I recently returned from a week in Poland, I was invited to Kuligów outside of Warsaw to painting outdoors with Polish, Ukrainian and Latvian artists. There was even an artist from Belarus and Hungry. It was a lovely experience. Not many spoke English, but we all shared the language of art. I took the train from Stockholm to Warsaw, return. That was an interesting adventure also.

More from Brittany
Here are a few sketches that weren’t completed while I was in France. I finished them later in the studio. I always enjoy myself in Paimpol and Ploubazlanec. Nice memories as usual.

Painting the view of Ploubazlanec
This is the last watercolour I will show from my trip to France. The house belongs to my mother-in-law. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place, as you can see. A young man lives in the van, he’s been there for four years. It’s the way it is. I look forward to visiting again next year.

The tide is out, it’s time to paint
I mentioned in my last post that I liked it best when the tide was out. Looking through my watercolours from the trip to Brittany it’s clear that it is so. These were painted just outside of Paimpol harbour. Lots of abandoned boats to try and capture. I had a lot of fun that day.
