Coming home from the cruise, the colours still linger on in me. And the feeling of the azur blue sea.This is a painting from some years back, but it was too dark, and on my return I just had to make it sing and give the feeling of the deep blue sea.
It felt so good to be back in my studio, and I just had to start with the colours from the Caribbean. Many shapes wanted to be part of the painting, and I let them in. I worked on it a long time, from play mode through to the clarifying stage, where it is now. I have decided to leave it here. As finished.

The Painting Course
My students finished the painting course in November, and I look forward to welcome them back next year in February. If you want to join me on Wednesdays starting the 19th at 11:00 until 15:00. Please let me know. Send me an e-mail. I will also have a course on Wednesday evenings, starting at 18:00, but there must be at least 4 students. Max 6.
I will also give a course with art therapy in the beginning of March. I have called it Finding your inner pictures, ; finn dine indre bilder. Les mer på mine nettsider/see my homepage for more info.
After each painting day during the course, the students brush off their left over paint on a canvas, this time on a piece of paper. This is kind of fun, and many strokes and shapes are painted over and over. Here you can see the result from this season.

Exhibition – Christmas sale
My next scheduled exhibition will be in September next year, at Sandbekkstua, Rælingen Kunstforening, just outside Oslo. In the meantime I have many new paintings, so I thought an exhibition could be arranged in my studio. And so I did.
This coming weekend, 27.11. – 1.12., you are heartly welcome to my studio in Dagaliveien 31, Friday from 15:00 to 18:00, Saturday and Sunday 11:00 to 15:00. Come and make a good bargain!
There are lots of paintings, water colours, drawings, prints – all over the place. Maybe you will find just that you are looking for!



Christmas coming up
Now there is less than a month until Christmas Eve, and I guess most of you are busy preparing for the season. I hope you will take time to cool down without stress and enjoy these days. Maybe do some painting? Art is food for the soul.
