I love garlands.
I don't know why exactly,
it's something about that circular form
and the plants involved
I think.

Anyway,
a garland always gives me a good feeling.

These little watercolor sketches 
give me so much pleasure.

I'm not quite sure what I'll use them for,
if I'll use them at all in fact.
They're not made as artwork for an exhibition 
or anything like that.
I make them because I want to,
because they give me pleasure. 
Simple as that.

Yesterday was time for another visit to the screen printing studio of Pål Gunnæs.

Since I'm in the process of learning to screen print, I wanted to experiment a little with different colors on both the motive and the background. I ended up with six different versions of the same motive; gold and black respectively on white background + on two different background colors - turquoise and grey. It's very hard to say which I like most and consequently should print a whole series of. I asked my Instagram friends and got so many different answers - maybe I

More delight from the garden: ground elder. 
This is really the most stubborn plant ever
but I've been thinking 
if I start to see it's beauty
maybe it won't bother me 
so much.

Ground elder was brought to Norway
by the monks
as a leaf vegetable.
Maybe I should start putting it in my soup?

I love painting these unpretentious sketches 
which are not intended to end up as art work
but give me infinite pleasure 
in the making.

I find so much joy in the natural world
and recreating parts of it on paper, 
like this,
sort of prolongs the enjoyment 
for me. 
It feels like in a way I'm holding fast something good,
without any other intention than that.
No plans to exhibit or sell.
I do it simply because it feels good. 

This is the best way to create art
I think. 
When you are free to listen to your true self,
not thinking about what others

This is a photo from may
when the Forget-me-nots were in full bloom

They grow in abundance in the forest behind our house.
One time I dug up some roots 
and put them in our garden 
between the other flowers.

Now they feel so at home,
they've taken over the garden completely
and grace us with a carpet of blue delight
for some weeks
every month of may.

Thank you Forget-me-not!

The garden is such a joy these days
budding and sprouting all around

Forms, colors, smells and textures
such a delight to the senses
after the cold, white season

Here is a quote from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson:

The earth laughs in flowers

Have a floral tuesday!

They speak of warm winds and long summer nights
Promises of a sweeter season

Spring is my favorite time of the year.

I love it so much when nature comes to life again
and the harsh, norwegian winter recedes. 
It's such a delight to walk in the garden
and watch the tender, young plants 
stretch towards the light.

All the beautiful buds and sprouts make for inviting motives, and a quick sketch can be a great delight.

One fine day I crossed paths with this beautiful fella. I guess he's happy about spring too.
