The Dog Keeper welcoming our beloved friends.When my dear Loki died 6 years ago, in the evening, I saw him. He was so happy because he didn’t feel the pain any longer, he was feeling so fine and he looked at me, uncomprehending, he felt my (bottomless) sadness and wondered why I was not rejoicing. A few days later, I dreamed we were bathing together in the sea. I was so glad he came to visit me. The sun was shining and the water was crystal clear. I know he will be here for me one day, by the Goblins Portal. Wagging his tail. Bringing his ball at my feet.   This

Soon the end of the Midnight Sun… looking forward to seeing the stars again in one month.. This is an image in a long series about the Goblin world. Goblins love animals, crafts and music.

It has numerous  fireplaces, an excellent cook and a very charming host. It is not possible to book in advance. It’s the kind of place

Summertime is when I work the most, therefore it gets very tricky to find the time and energy to paint. It happens quite often I manage to paint just a few hours here and there on a painting only to give up after a few weeks because the vision is gone and I lost the connection with what I had in mind.
