back home again
We have been on vacation for two weeks. Mainly on Norröra, an island in the Stockholm Archipelago.
To get from the cottage to the other side of the island we walked the path just right of this stone wall. For days I wanted to draw it and when I finally took a chair and placed it I discovered four frogs around my feets. I have this thing with or against frogs that almost made me swim back home again. But I took a deep breath and moved the chair way back out in the sun again. Who needs to be close when you can almost see it anyways?

You should have had me there. I would gladly have collected every frog and given them names and found new homes for them. Just as old times :)
What colors do you use nowadays?

alex. The funny thing is that the next day when we was walking to the sea to have a swim I saw a big frog jumping across the path in perfect backlighting. It was so beautiful! I understood that I have to paint frogs. Just haven’t got to it yet.
This wall is just the pen I got from you and watercolor in some frog-like washes.
