Taking action or creating elephants
I have been busy printing cards. It took forever. For me, a practical thing like searching the net for a fitting place to order prints on a bigger scale can be a far more time and energy consuming process than creating a painting. In my head, really simple things like...
Glimpses: new painting, spring and coffee
For more than a year I have been painting every monday. The mondays painting sessions are almost holy. Not much else would have a change to get my attention those days. Last monday I looked myself in the mirror in the evening after finishing painting. I looked so...
Romantic lifestyle
I don´t always feel romantic, but I do have a romantic soul. I enjoy romance in many forms, like in that old café where I could sit and write for hours or in the sound of a longing irish tune. And I truly enjoy when me and Rune find the time, space and language to...
In love with the process and the result = actual birth!
Lately I have been thinking a lot about the balance between the process and the result. Like the process of baking a cake and the result of the finished cake. I absolutely love both: I love to be lost in process and also to get a tangible result out of it. And I am...

Springfever on canvas
So much nurturing is going on right now. It seems that any alive thing in this part of the planet are drinking sunshine like a life-saving vitamin-boost. And it is. Lifesaving. I cherish the season´s. All of them. Am grateful I live in a part of the world where I can...
Quiet now
Lately I had such a need for quiet time and rest. And at the same time I have had so many ideas and wishes for things to act on. Quite a juggle to handle. I often get that around change of seasons. I see my life and directions clearer in the light of this new...
In love with the process
I love to see how other people create stuff. Each person has a special way of doing what they do. I paint at the dining table in our living room, and what you can´t see: I´m left handed. Here´s a sneak peak into my painting process... White canvas, paint, brushes, and...
