I went out for a ride on my new bike this morning, saw this little van and I just had to sketch it.

Stockholm is empty on midsummer’s eve, only tourists walk the streets. Swedes are celebrating the year’s mid-point out in the country side and the archipelago. I decided to go for a cycle into town late in the afternoon and did this watercolour sketch of Stockholm’s Town Hall.

No opportunities to watercolour at the moment. A quick sketch from my screen at work the only possibility.

For the last three weeks we’ve had a carpenter re flooring the apartment. It’s was a crazy idea to live there while it was being done, and painting watercolours was just not a possibility. Anyway, the apartment is finished now and it’s looking great. Once all the dust has been removed, and the furniture put back in place – I’ll be back in business. Last night I did this quick sketch, I had no reference, so it’s from the mind, strange place; my mind.
Venue: Konstnärshuset
This was the last life drawing session before the summer break. I guess I’ll have to sketch from photos I find on the internet for a few months. I certainly don’t want to stop drawing the human form just because of holidays!

I sketched this bored traveller in the airport bar on the way home from France at the weekend.

I have had a lot of time to reflect on what I actually want to sketch and paint while on holidays. Basically, there is an awful lot of subjects that do not inspire me and a few that do. One of the few that do are old boat wrecks here in the harbour of Paimpol, Brittany.
