To Ellen


This blog is made to the honor of my grandmother Ellen Elisabeth Thomsen who was a modern woman .
She was born in Randers in Denmark 1895 and died in Copenhagen 1976.
She had long salmon red hair down to her hips. It was braided and put up with lots of hairpins to make it look short.

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.

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
