This summer I have been painting and painting... :)

I don't know where to start..

In May I went to Norway to take a class from Jenny Grant.

There I was over a weekend painting with my friends from Tracye Verdugo class two years in Sweden and of course some new friends. 

We had a wonderful weekend in beautiful weather, painting, eating, drinking and painting more.

The local in Fredriksberg was great

Jenny Grant is a fabulous teacher.

Beautiful Fredrikstad

We had such a great time, I love taking workshops.

I'll write a new post very soon, the summer is almost finished.

Hope you had a great one

New painting..

I did star working on this one when I took a workshop in Norway in May.

The teacher was Jenny Grant.

I had a wonderful time, painting for 3 days with wonderful friends both old and new.

Can't wait for the next workshop we take together.

Jenny the teacher is an angel, I became her friend in some online FB group and then I took her class in LB and then she was the host for Tracys class in Sweden two years ago.

And here is another one, this one is old, always trying to finish with this one but never happy, think Ill collage over her and start all over again.

Have a great day all of you :)

This summer I have been painting a lot...

I took a class by lovely Jenny Grant but she was the host when I

 was in Stockholm last summer taking Tracy Verdugo´s class Paint Mojo. 

Jenny´s class was on Life Book, a year long class with

 new teacher every week and a lot of 

new method to learn in every class.

I wanted to use brighter colours and I did 

add a little gold on the Mandalas.

I like them but I feel like I´m not finished yet, 

have to add a little here and there..

Have a great week

Paint Mojo in Sweden. my dream came true..

Paint Mojo, Sweden 2015

I was the lucky one to have the opportunity to take a weekend class with Tracy Verdugo in Sollentuna, Sweden last weekend. We were 20 girls that took the class and I can't describe how much fun we had. 

With the amazing teacher Tracy Verdugo

Tracy is an angel and so is Jenny Grant, the host. 

The host Jenny Grant

We came from many different countries, France, Norway, Finland, Ireland (living in Sweden) Hungary (living in Sweden) Sweden and Iceland and of course Tracy, the teacher lives in Australia.

I did travel from home Friday morning, arriving in Sweden at noon. Took the train to the hotel in Sollentuna. From there I went strait to the train again and in to Stockholm as I had to do a little shopping in Ahléns for my granddaughter. Back to the hotel again and there in the lobby I met my dear Valéri from France but we were sharing a room. At dinnertime we were invited to a Chiaras (from Ireland) and Zsuzannas from (Hungery) room for a little party before we went down for a dinner. There we meet Heidi (from Norway) and Mette (also living in Norway).

Heidi, Zsuzsanna and Ciara

Sigga Dis, Valéri and Mette

There we are I, Mette and Valéri, friends that have been taking a lot of classes online together and it was like  that we had been friends forever. We had a wonderful evening but went early to bed as we had to have a good sleep before class start in the morning.

All of the lovely ladies

We arrived to Edsvik Konsthall 09.30 in the morning but that´s where the class took place. There we met Tracy and Jenny and the other girls that were going to take the class to. 

Tracy is a wonderful teacher, she is so calm and so nice to be around.

We did start by having a little meeting outside, the weather was great and the sun was there.

My simbols

Then we started painting.... making symbols, with all kind of colors and shapes, turning and turning... Time was flying, we were having a great time in a great studio and we did get a great lunch there to :)

Exhibition in Edviks Konsthall

On the top floor at Edsvik Konsthall there was a exhibition with the great artist Marc Chagall, we went there to get a inspiration for our symbol making

In the evening we staying at the hotel had dinner together at Spice, a Indian restaurant close to the hotel. The food was great and the beer was super good one imported from India.

Here I have added a little paint to my symbols

The next morning there were colors, bright and beautiful colors on every ones canvas, soft music and a little laughter here and there. This was the weekend... best ever for me. 

My two paintings after the workshop 

It was not easy to say good bye to all the beautiful artists staying together over the weekend, painting and painting. Taking a workshop like this is something all artist should do. 

Cant wait for the next workshop, next year :)

My BFF

I miss these two more than anything.... but we will meet again :)

Have a great day
