BEHIND THE SEA


On Friday evening the blackbirds were singing. On Saturday it was sunny. On Sunday it snowed. Behind our windows, someone was sewing a dress.


The pink and the rose curtains. The slowly waving shadows of trees. Friends 


The saltiness of the sea, the comfort of the sound of round pebbles.


Those little moments when you just listen and watch and see the history around.


The people, their houses and the fences. Their mail and the ones who would like to read it too.


Waking up in the sounds of snow, making the city so silent. Pancakes for breakfast.


Some familiar patterns.


On the way to a museum, the best pink and yellow art is seen.


Out from the museum, the best lime green art is seen.


Friends 

Behind the sea I feel always so well.

Have a beautiful March!

FIRST SPRING TICKLES






A small train trip, many walks. More powdery snow. A few sun rays tickling all the corners. Reading a sentence here and there. More frozen windows. Spicy broccoli soup with coconut cream, ginger and lime juice. What about a few pancakes with grandmother´s raspberry jam?

Happy afternoon break greetings while the sun is already setting!

A SHADOW OF LAST YEAR'S JULY




Sun wakes me up at 6 am. Fetching newspaper from outside, the sun tickles birch leaves. That green happens only for a few days in a year. The green after the spring rain. Drinking tea, reading the newspaper on the floor. Friend knocks on the door, we drink morning coffee, talk about music. Gazing the clouds in the horizon, will they become friendly or not on the way. 


Friend leaves for work, I choose one of the soft cotton papers. Mixing a few spoonfuls of Payne's Grey Blaulich color. Painting a background, letting it dry. Fixing a few clothes meanwhile, sewing machine hums, small details sewing by hand. The background is dry.


Choosing the color buttercup yellow and cranesbill purple. Leaves from different greens. Frozen strawberries and blueberries with ginger and almond milk for breakfast. More leaves of blue tones on the paper.


The clouds appear closer, they are friendly summer clouds. A turtle and a hare at least, in woolen clothes of sheep. On the sky. Floating in the blueness.


Lunch time, carrot coriander soup. A walk. Thinking how to continue the painting. 


The photos are from last summer at grandmother's. More of those July birch tree leaves in wind.




Happy Tuesday with sunniest greetings!

SPRING IS COMING



Hello dear March,

Welcome spring and little adventures. The sunlight was so warm today, the sound of running water so refreshing. How can it always surprise. There have been many smiles, stories about a sea captain father, living in a circus wagon, long walks and waving to a train. Friends on a coffee outdoors, views from a sight tower and an open balcony door.

Eleven Morning Frost Meadow -prints left. Apple Blossom Meadow is back in the shop. Thank you so much once again for your orders .

Happy beginning of March!

O-HOY THE SEA







O-hoy the sea, the soon leaving ice, snow, the small island with wooden houses. The boats on the yards (and on window sills) waiting for the open waters. The songs of seagulls, a far away cargo boat middle of the ice. The small lighthouse and a small castle. O-hoy, a good small weekend trip to a neighbor town. A report of our snow and spring development by the sea.

Hello a new week, hello you!
