Paint Mojo in Sweden. my dream came true..

 Paint Mojo Sweden August 2015

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).

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

Namaste

Im painting and painting and painting......

After being inspired by Mystele in her Gut Art class I have been painting and painting.

I always get so inspired by her, love the way she paints.

I loved to make these three, so Im making three more :)

They are small or 12x18 cm and Im going to get them framed.

Im going to make some more and then find a small place to have a little exhibition..

I love to see small paintings on a small wall in a cosy coffee house...

Let me know if you know about some place :)

Have a beautiful sunday

Namaste..

Now I cant stop painting.... all done inspired by Gut Art the class Im taking.

Hosting the class is my favorite girl Mystele, I adore her paintings.

I love this one.. Follow the wind.. 

Love the expression in her face.

This one is lovely too, she is sad waiting for someone to come home, maybe she is waiting for her love... Come home soon...

The first one I made was .... I carry my home with me....

Hope that you like what you see... more to come

Have a beautiful day

I participaded in an Art Exhibition in Harpan, Consert Hall, Iceland

This is Harpan, Icelandic new Concert Hall. 

Harpan is  located near the harbor, down town Reykjavík.

June 2. there was an opening of an art show. 

30 artist taking part and one of them was me.

The art work had to be 150x150 or bigger so I did buy me an canvas and started painting.

Adding layers by layers by layers.

Turning the canvas around all the time. 

I love painting big :) 

I was happy at the opening, it was a good feeling seeing my work there in this big building that has a hundred visitors every day from all over the world. 

Today Im going back there to take a look at all the paintings.

Have a beautiful day
