Remember I wrote about Vårsalongen? Yesterday some friends and I went to see the exhibition. It was inspiring to see all the different styles.
Some examples and details from the exhibition and at the bottom, my danceband portraits.

Up: My latest wood figure and a fleamarket finding from Gysinge.
In the middle: One of the five portraits that will be seen at Vårsalongen that opens January 29.
Down: One of all old record covers I bought to get inspiration for my portraits. Aren´t these guys just wonderful?
Now I will be gone for almost a week (skiing) and I will be back for the vernissage at Liljevalchs the 29th.
2014 people applied with works of art to be part of Vårsalongen, a yearly exhibition at Liljevalchs Art museum that takes place every spring. 132 was selected and I´m so happy to be one of them. This gives me self-confidence to paint more.
A year ago a friend called me and said I had to by Lantliv, an interior-design magazine, because she had seen something in it that would amaze me. And I got really surprised when I saw this interior-design coverage. 16 years ago I painted a picture one night when I was angry and sad after a separation. My revenge was to make a big painting and send it to Vårsalongen (see February 18 to understand what that is). The painting was accepted and even sold. And then 15 years later it turns up in this magazine. I´m happy that the buyer still has it on the wall. The text on the picture? ”Those were the days, you *****”.
Today I went to Vårsalongen. It´s a fun exhibition at Liljevalchs in Stockholm that takes place this time every year and it´s a mix of amateurs and professional artists. This year 1 800 persons candidated and 168 artists were chosen. See some images here. I´ve attended twice but it´s a long-time now.
I got really inspired to bring out the brushes. Here are som old paintings of mine, from-95.
