I’m not sure what people at work think of me when I paint during my lunch break. I hope my bosses don’t mind, I mean it is my lunchtime which is my time, right? No one has told me to stop, so I guess I shouldn’t worry about it.
This watercolour which is a painting of Strandvägen in central Stockholm was painted during lunch and then finished in the evening. I am happy with it, the boat reflection is amaturish but everything else is loose and free, there is energy. Once again, when I work quickly the result is more successful than when I work slowly, I think painting with one’s instinct is key.

It´s your time, isn´t it, but please eat something, I would´t like lost one my favourites painters. Wonderful sky, fantastic water relections, great lost and found edges, incredible palette. Love it.
Thank you setxu! 🙂
I always eat first, I usually look for something to paint while I eat.
Anyway, I tend to fatten up during my artist weeks, then I am in my home and the fridge is full 😉
