We've had some great weather the last few days. The sun hasn't even been out. Because there's been nothing to get out from. Blue skies as long as the eyes can see. With great weather also comes the boat season. People loading up their boats on big trailers, heading to get some water under…

I didn't plan on it. But in this painting it almost looks like the top of the mountain returns at the bottom. It was supposed to just be an island or something, lying near the shore. But the top and bottom-look is much more interesting. So I decided to go with that. Let's just pretend…

This lighthouse ended up looking a bit more futuristic than planned. Almost a bit Star Wars-ee. Like it's R2D2 standing there on the rock, guiding the ships safely through the area. I do like how it turned out, though. There is something about lighthouses which really fascinates me. How they've been placed there in the…

This is a place I know. You'll have to use a boat to get there. If you get a bit closer you can see a bunch of shags standing on top of the rock. But it's close to the mountain. So you'll have to be careful. If you look up the mountainside there are birds…

Just a quick pen sketch from a normal day at home. Much like the day of this fishing crew, I imagine. The weather is okay. The fishing is okay. The mood is okay. And that is an okay day. Especially on days like today.
The world is heading in a new direction. Electrification is the increasing trend, while fossil fuel is on it's way out. Well, it's going to take a whole lot of time before it's really out, but maybe it'll be some day. Anyway, thinking about all of this I wondered how those traditional features of our…

Another doodle of some boats in the sand. When the tide gets in, they'll be all ready for a day of fishing. This is kind of how I feel when I get up in the morning. But I guess that coffee is my tide, in this situation 🙂
The motivation behind this drawing/painting was to see if I could make a good seascape using a pen tool. I often paint water, but I rarely draw it. So I did a quick drawing to see how it went. I was a bit lukewarm to the result at first, but now I think it turned…
