Redheads at Skagen

Hello dear viewers

I am back home after my first visit to the Museum of Art in Skagen,

Skagen is the most northern part of Denmark.

If you don't count Greenland in !

I saw the Guldalder painters.

And marveled once more over their talents!!

I had seen several of their paintings in Hirschsprungs Collection in Copenhagen
and in the fantastic American collection of John L Loeb

,but this time I looked mostly at paintings of redheads.

So here are some portraits that too me were rather unknown.

Had to put to photos together to get all of the pictures in-

At the end of Denmark where the two seas meat

Look how the Northern Sea is green and the Baltic Sea is blue!
Notice one has waves and the other is rather calm !
There were also two different winds, so the waves clashed into each other

Redheads dream

The summer is almost gone ,here on Bornholm in Denmark we

were lucky with the weather. I have painted and had no Internet, Radio or Television.
It is amazing how many hours one can gain each day without this dream boxes!
Spend much time together with Maria Björklund,
my sweet, inspiring and talented Artist friend from Sweden.
We painted portraits of each other and embroidered and sew ,
we discussed Art and cooked Turkish dishes.
And we started planning series of exhibitions about our
oriental paintings and love for the Ottoman period.
Using the fabulous antique clothes we each
collected trough out the years.
A fantastic summer that will bear many fruits.

But it has been a long time since my last posting.
My niece Anna slept in the house one night and I have started a painting of her.
Which also inspired to a new posting.
I have to be sure that I don't unintentionally copy some
other artists sleeping beauty!

So here comes a new amount of Redheads.

People with red hair also rest or sleep ,

but they are specially lovely lying there so calm with fire burning like crazy around their faces.

Look for yourself!
