On the third day of my visit to Prague I visited the Veletržní Palace to see the Slav Epic by Alfons Mucha. Twenty massive works depicting the history of the Slavic people.

Having a Mucha weekend
I am having an amazing weekend in Prague, so much to see, so much culture. We visited the Municipal House, which is an Art Nouveau master piece. There, they have Ivan Lendl’s collection of Alfons Mucha’s posters, which is the most complete collection in the world. Amazing! Don’t be surprised if you start to see thick dark lines around my nudes! 🙂

Mucha, Prague
I am on holidays, which means I have the opportunity to paint at last. Time, such a hard treasure to find.

| Nude In Red Armchair, 30 x 42 cm (A3), 11 3/4 x 16 1/2″ |
The house belongs to my mother in law, it’s a very beautiful place close to Paimpol, Brittany in France. I thought I would paint it but I ran out of time, I should not have waited until the last day of my visit. I am on holidays again now so hopefully I will find time to complete the painting using photographs as reference.
I thought some of you might be interested in seeing my painting set up. The image of me in the header above was taken while I was painting the house. 🙂

Lars Lerin – Kanal 12 i Varmland
Lars Lerin is probably the most interesting and talented watercolourist living in Sweden today. Here are three interviews about Lars and his work. The videos are in Swedish unfortunately. You can see his paintings here is you are not familiar with his work. He doesn’t seem to have a web-gallery which is a pity. There is a documentary I would like to see called, “För dig naken”, it was filmed by his niece, Sara Bross and was released in 2012.

Lars Lerin hos Malou
I learn so much each time I do a watercolour. I learn, that I should not draw so many lines, that I should be patient, that I should simplify what I see, that I should be more subtle with my tones and finally, that I should be more confident with my brush strokes.
This is a portrait of Micke Nybrink, he is a Trotting media journalist here in Sweden. Last week I created a web site in which he featured and this is where the image of him inspired me to paint him. You can see the website and his photo here if you like. It took me three lunch breaks to complete the painting, almost two hours I would guess.
