Wednesday, June 29th, 2011Long rainy summer days in a quiet office has some really good qualities to it. For one it means I get a lot done. Bringing out the watercolors, my sketches and then just diving into it.
Skandi Skansen
Tuesday, June 28th, 2011A brand new DOF supply vessel is about to be Christened. Yesterday I was at the Aukra Shipyard onboard the ship to get all the artwork on the walls and ready for sailing.

business-card clean-up
Sunday, June 26th, 2011I have a drawer filled with business cards from friends, and acquaintance. Especially after Artfest, I bring home a bundle of delightful cards, each with information about blogs and websites. It´s like a little treasure-chest all of it´s own.

An English garden wedding
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011The local church is decorated for the big day. St Andrew´s was built in 680 (!!! And I thought Moster church was old…) I really like how active the English wedding service is.
