Life drawing
20151014. Location: Master Olofsgården, Old Town, Stockholm.
This life drawing session was in the middle of the day. Normally I can’t go because of having to work, but now I only work 50% so suddenly I have more time to paint and draw, heaven!

Never throw away a painting
I was about to trash a large painting when I thought to myself, maybe I can cut it up into smaller pictures. So I cut out two, one I liked and one I didn’t.

Yeap, it’s been a few weeks since I last published. I have a good excuse though, my son was visiting, he lives in Tokyo so it was real nice spending some time with him. I plan to visit him in January, I can’t wait, I’ve never been to Japan.
Here are my life drawings dated 20151010. Location: Basis, Folkkungagatan, Stockholm

Today we sailed for five and a half hours to bring our boat back from the summer harbour. Tomorrow we take off the mast and next weekend the boat is lifted by crane onto land. The only thing left to do then is build a roof over the boat which will protect it from the harsh Scandinavian winter weather, I look forward to the spring already. For the record, it was damn cold sailing today, thankfully the sun came out at half time to warm us up a little, I used a gas burner to dry the paper in between washes.

I held my pencil right at the end of the shaft. I kept my arm totally straight while my sketch pad was down on the floor while I sat. Interesting results I think, quite lively.
