Went through my photos as I was looking for something specific. Found anything but the photo I was looking for. But amongst them I discovered this gem from 2016 – an inspired by Iceland kitsch compilation postcard that I drew to send to the boyfriends family.
On the way to Athens I had a stop over in Ireland for a couple of days. I always love going back there. I stayed with very good friends of mine and as always it was also nice to visit these two old paintings of mine that are on their living room wall. Take a better look at them here.
Sorry for the bad picture quality. I finally managed to buy a new phone yesterday. So from now on I hope photos will be better quality.
Some photos I received a while ago that I totally forgot about. This old painting of mine which I gave to a friend many years ago is now gracing the wall in her house over in the States.
So finally something new. Have started painting again and the first one has been added to the 2014 gallery. Although I am not sure whether I am actually happy with it or not. Hmm… I might change it after I am finished with the one I am currently working on. I spent my last few off days painting butterflies. Here some excerpts.
And as it is all about paintings of mine moving to new locations, Siesta II recently moved from Darmstadt to Munich.

And one more! One of my firsts and one of my all time favourites that is gracing this white wall in Oulu, Finland.
I will visit it soon enough 🙂
It’s all about old paintings that found a new home this week. This one is adding a splash of colour to a friends apartment in Reykjavik. And he was so nice to take a more that professional picture of it when I asked him for a random shot. I think I will ask him to photograph my new paintings once they are finished. He definitely did a good job and knows what he is doing.
As he wrote me: “I used a 50mm fixed lens, with shadowless ring light, 7 exposure bracket with deep zoom detail and color accuracy to photograph your print.”
Takk fyrir!
Another painting that found a new/old home in Meckenbeuren, Germany, is this one here that has been inspired by an amazing day in Portmarnock with view of Howth, Ireland. Yes, I miss that place.
So I finally started painting again. Meanwhile, this old work which is still one of my favorites is gracing the white wall of a dear friends place near Munich. It is fun not only to see old friends but also old artworks again that I had totally forgotten about.
This little frog got a new home in Reykjavik. It’s one of the works from last summer….
It has been a while since the last post. It’s the beginning of a new year and I have started painting again after a longer break.
Meanwhile a few of my paintings have moved to new locations.
This one made it all the way to Guangzhou in southern China.
And these two found a new home in Darmstadt, Germany ^^
Exhibition is still in full swing and photos will follow soon. But meanwhile I received a photo of this painting which I had almost forgotten about.
Painted it a long time ago as a present from a friend to her fiance. Meanwhile the sleepy leopard has made it all the way to HAWAII and is keeping them happy. Seems like he got a good home there as he is still sleeping ^^
I went to Ireland for the summer and it was nice to see some of my old paintings again. I gave these two as presents to dear friends of mine a couple of years ago.

The Inner Child. I also did the drawing on the right. Daughter and dog of the family.
Yes, this is apparently what you get when you go on holiday at home. Nostalgia.
Discovered this again at a friend’s place. Together with Nicole, a very good friend of mine, we I painted this one for our friend’s birthday as a last minute present ^^. Inspiration was her cat Heidi.
