May was a busy month. Spring is definitely here with all its beautiful flowers and gardening duties, not to mention pollen allergy. 

So what’s up

Besides working on some new smaller abstract works on paper, I had a blast creating a large abstract work on canvas this month. The only trouble was I had an allergic reaction to the glue I used for the collage parts, so next time I’ll be wearing a protection mask and work in my outside studio.

Inspiration

This year we had swedish-french family visiting for the 17th of May to celebrate Norwegian Constitution day. We had a super nice day watching the children’s parade in front of the Royal Castle.

We also visited the MUNCH museum. I especially enjoyed revisiting the abstract expressionism/ art informel exhibition The Shape of Freedom dancing in front of my favourite artist Franz Kline wearing my traditional bunad from Setesdal. 

A few days later we left for Malmø to visit the family’s young artist and check out the Annual Exhibition at Malmø Art Academy
