The process of coming up with a new painting is sometimes not easy. It can take days before I get inspired (or even months!). Then, I have moments like today when my mind is occupied with important things and suddenly I have drawn four paintings in my head in just a few seconds. It is amazing how it works sometimes. I just wish I could paint them that fast!

 

The Sweet Pea in our garden is blossoming for the first time, which is amazing as I have neglected it for a few days. It is beautiful! I can’t wait to take a photo and try to paint it.

 

Speaking of photos, I uploaded some more photos a few days ago and will upload a few more in the upcoming days. Most are from previous vacations and it is somewhat painful to process photos of good times at the beach or in Sweden. Isn’t it time for vacation soon?

Some bonds never really leave us.
They simply find new ways to stay close.
