Purple Crush by artist Jeremy Thomas

Back in Santa Fe: today I spent some nice time with artist Jeremy Thomas. He returned a piece I bought a few years ago, which needed a bit of a touch up. Now it is looking gorgeous on the concrete floor in the studio.

Post Studio Tour quiet

After having had about 2300 visitors in our home for ten days, lots of talks with enthusiastic, friendly people, it was nice to be quiet for a while. Not much beats burning huge pile of branches and debris from a felled tree, standing by the fire in the evening light, listening to the wind in […]

2100 enthusiastic visitors… exhausted…

Over Easter weekend around 2100 people walked through the house, all the way into the bedroom. Feedback is amazing, sales ok, maybe a bit slow. The studio tour is still on. The painting on display in Landskrona sold (The Woman from Los Alamos) and I have had the opportunity to educate a lot of Swedes […]

Slow progress

I have to force myself with this painting… maybe I would rather ride? But at some point it is going to be fun, and at some time in the future I will look back at this process with the desire to do it again. I know, it is pretty much the same every time.

Early stages of a strange painting

Some people write books and I paint stories. This odd family portrait is telling strange tales. The format is 80 x 120 cm. Lots of work remains.
