Art is... Vad konst är

What is ART to you, a blogger friend asks, and we all add our 2 cents. The art work I like touches me. Deeply. I may cry or laugh. I want to be moved. Shaken. And stirred, perhaps? 
At best, art makes me see the world differently. Makes me think ways I have not before. 

Below are some fragments of my own work. Watercolors. Oils. Sketches. Studies of old masters. Life size sculptures/installations. Stuff I had pics of on my hard drive...
 What is ART to you?

Another way of Decorating

I oktobernumret av tidskriften The World of Interiors, hittar man bland annat ett hemma hos reportage hos pariskonstnären och poeten LP Promenheurs sommarhus på landsbygden utanför Chartres. Här har konstnären själv, på fri hand, dekorera väggarna med djur- och växtmotiv. Unikt, poetiskt och elegant i all sin enkelhet. Något för sommarstugan?

Relaxed Bohemian Chic

Finally! Over the years some friends have frowned at my un-hemmed table cloths, and have offered to fix it for me. Now I have picture proof - I'm the stylish one ;-)

Äntligen har min benägenhet att duka med ofållade dukar blivit accepterat. Glöm bara inte att zig-zaga linnedukens franskant innan tvätt, så förvandlas den inte till ett intrasslat "fågelbo" i tvättmaskinen....

Bilden överst t.h från Ikea, övriga okända.
