Trudging forward through life. I guess that's what we need to do when it gets hard. Now that the second large wave of covid-19 seem to have reached Europe we're about to go through another period of social restrictions. In Norway we've been lucky, and prevented a large outbreak back in February. That helped the…

Being outside is the best recreation! (besides painting and drawing, of course) I get so much energy and serenity being among green grass, rustling trees and the sound of the birds singing and chirping. And when we bring with us the cooker for some simple food and coffee, the day is complete. I imagine these…

If you're having a rough monday, remember that it could be worse. You could be a captain running your boat on the rocks. It doesn't look like a too heavy blow, though, so I guess it's back in vigorous sailing in no time. Much like we often are when we get to tuesday or wednesday…
I just couldn't get the song "Hunting high and low" from a-ha out of my head while drawing this one. It has nothing in common with the song, other than that the cabins are physically high and low. Or maybe there's a dramatic love story going on within the cabins, or a search for each…

I've seen the Northern lights - or aurora borealis - a few times. But not nearly enough. It's quite common where I live now, but it's often outshined by the lights of the city. If you want to see it more clearly you need to go to a darker place, og maybe further up north.…

A little sketch to free the mind. A lot of air. A lot of time. A lot of silence.
This is a day for relaxing. No visits. No chores. All of that can wait till tomorrow. You let out all the stress, and fill up on energy and calmness.
